Love staying at the Milo it’s a beautiful location. It’s a great stay the staff is always very helpful. There were contacts left by a previous guest on my nightstand. Also they took away the nighttime wine tasting and switched it to s'more's which was ok but maybe have both? Also they used to

The room was smaller than expected and old. No parking other than valet. Very difficult to get the shower water temperature right. A fire alarm went off in middle of the night and someone tried to break into our truck bed. NOT HAPPY!

I want to start out by saying, the staff was excellent. The hotel, although renovated, had a clogged sink, you could hear the noise of other guests and cleaning staff through the walls, the coffee maker did not work, and we paid extra for an ocean view, but it was more of a glimpse. The front desk and manager agreed it was not a full ocean view and did not charge us for parking.
