The room was beautiful, facing the pacific ocean with wonderful sunset views. Loved the record player and that we could borrow records from the front desk. The pop up they had on the outdoor patio was so cute, sadly due to a private event we couldn't enjoy it much. The social hour was great and very enjoyable. The food at the restaurant was good as were the cocktails. I wish the valet wasn't so expensive, but we were next to the beach so I guess that is to be expected. All in all I would come stay again in a heartbeat.
