    I love this unique property with all of the Spanish tiles & details; the small furnished porches and Dutch doors, that allow you to hear and see the ocean outside, add to charm and beauty of this hotel. The staff is always friendly and no detail...

    I have stayed at so many hotels this year through-out California and this one was the best by far. The customer service (just like everyone says) exceeds expectations, the location is amazing, and the food/drinks onsite are so good you don’t need...
