We were allowed an early check-in to "freshen" up for my nephew's wedding. The staff was wonderful. Our room was changed from a second floor room to a first floor room which made bringing our luggage in and out of the room so easy. The room was clean and ready for us. The whole experience was fantastic.

For the view alone, we'll be coming back! We love the totally chill neighborhood vibe without the tourist glitz. The roses surrounding the pool have clearly been loved for decades. Great attentive staff. Easy parking and gorgeous sunsets. Really quite fab! We got the 2 bdm suite to have a sitting room, which we will do again.

We loved all the flowers in the outdoor courtyard. Falling asleep listening to the Ocean was absolutely incredible and you have a front row view to watch the sunset. The staff are incredible, they are friendly and helpful. The room was very cute and comfortable. We will definitely be back to this property on our next trip to San Diego!!

My parents discovered this wonderful place in the 1960s, and my husband and I have been here with our two boys in the 80s and 90s! We’ve continued coming to this wonderful little gem on the cliffs! What a lovely place to relax, take a dip in the heated pool and watch the sunset!!
