Oh my gosh, my daughter and I came here for a trip together and I really cannot say enough positive about it. If you are even considering coming here, do not hesitate. The location couldn’t be better. The place couldn’t be better. The team of professionals who run and support every aspect of it, couldn’t be better. The chocolate chip cookies each night - well, that just speaks for itself! Wow

I like this place because the location is 5 mins walk to the beach and 10 mins walk to downtown. Also 10 mins drive to Los Lobos Reserve. The staff are really nice. The hotel is newly renovated and honestly I love this hotel. It gives cozy vibe and aesthetic is pretty nice. The breakfast is phenomenal I didn’t get to try all of it but the burrito and waffles are Must have. There’s freshly baked cookies at night and alcoholic drinks in the afternoon. We had free wine and birthday card when we entered our room. It was really nice touch. They use Le Labo brand for toiletries. Overall 10/10 and we cannot wait to come back. Thank you for making my birthday weekend special.

The room was very nice but very small. The dining and the food were both top notch. The views from the dining area first rate and the Champagne brunch an absolute hit. There was also complimentary wine from 5 to 7 PM while checking in. That started the stay off great and it stayed that way. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Good energies!

We had such a pleasant break from the daily grind in the city, what really stood out was the friendly, professional staff, short stroll and your toes are in the sand, and the mimosas kept coming on Sunday morning. Thanks for helping us reset ourselves!
