There was not a working bar abd it's across the highway 1 from the beach. The patio is not on the beach. The room was beautiful and the gas fireplace was nice
Loved the room, it had a nice vibe with the fireplace. Staff was friendly and the bar is a nice quaint place to have have a drink before you explore the local area.
Will be staying here again!
Room and bathroom were great, loads of space and a great view of the beach from the balcony.
Staff all polite and friendly and the valet parking works like a dream. Breakfast was quality and plentiful. Would prefer a proper bean to cup machine for coffee rather than gas station filter coffee, but apart from that 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We had a wonderful stay here. The view of the pacific ocean from our upper floor room was perfect. We loved how the decor, fixtures and style of the place felt original and charming. Check-in and out was extremely easy, parking was easy, and everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was exactly what we were hoping for and we will definitely stay here again.
This was a weekend away for an anniversary! We loved the short walk to the beach and food. We also enjoyed the comfortable bed and wonderful staff. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a beach front hotel 😊
