This was our favorite hotel stay ever! The property felt more like a resort than a hotel. It has retained its elegance and doesn't have the sterile feel that many newer hotels have. The courtyard was welcoming, with its fireplace, spa, and pool (all accessible). The bed was comfortable. We heard no sounds from traffic, which is so rare in southern California! The location is close to Laguna Beach and many hiking trails. The breakfast was ample and fresh, and the two chefs who cooked eggs to order were kind and quick. Outstanding property!
