We had a wonderful stay! We were traveling with young kids and our dog, and this hotel was a great choice. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, with stair access down to the beach. The pool and hot tub were great for kids play or relaxing. There are also plenty of great places to eat just a short drive away. We would definitely recommend this hotel to families and anyone traveling with pets!

We loved this little gem of a place! We were only there for one night on a trip down through California but OMG it was lovely… so many little additional extras they had thought of and I loved the fireplace in the room and the fire pits on the terrace overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the night.. absolutely gorgeous! Would highly recommend.

We stayed in a beautiful ocean side room. Once we walked out to the patio you could see an amazing ocean view. There was a small pool, hot tub and fire pits. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the patio, reading and taking in the view. There is a path next door that leads to the beach so we were able to take a beach walk in the morning. Such a nice, clean, comfortable place to stay. Easy to walk to restaurants or take a quick drive to access more restaurants and shopping.

Great location! Couldn’t have asked for a better spot complete with fireplace, outdoor swimming pool and hot tub less than 20 ft away right outside our back door, and outdoor firepit. Lots of seating along the shoreline with magnificent views. Nice to have breakfast & Starbucks delivered to your door as an option. Wonderful sea life abounds!

Lovely property but all rooms surround the parking lot. Our room was large and well appointed however we had a view of another parking lot and no ocean view whatsoever. I would recommend asking specifically for ocean view and a room closer to the cliffs. Nice walking path to the steps leading to beach, and you can then walk all the way to the pier and attractions.
