Great area. Nice access to the beach. My only complaint would be the window coverings. In the morning, the light comes glaring in. For the property owner, I recommend getting blackout shades.

The hotel was super cozy and beautiful location. I wish the electric parking was better maintained. we saw the same two cars parked there our entire stay and we were unable to use the chargers. The fire place had amazing views however one had trouble staying on. The staff was super friendly and incredibly helpful in suggesting things to do in the area. The room was perfectly clean and cozy!

Loved our stay here! Everything was accurate to the photos and we found the king bed so comfy! The fireplace is a nice touch in the room. Also loved the hot tub and the fireplaces outside. We had a Tesla so it was nice that there were 2 charging stations on the property. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice room but very noisy. Our room was located closest to the freeway in addition the guests above had children running around the whole time which didn’t help! If booking request 2nd floor and a room mid to front (ocean) location.
