"Great staff and good location to walk to the beach and close to many great restaurants. The room was nice and spacious. I would only say our private terrace felt a bit too close to the street without barrier and a glass door to the room. Id like a more solid door or something to cover the terrace from public view. "

"There was construction and remodeling in the building, but it did not affect us very much. The staff was lovely, our room was lovely. The location is wonderful as long as you are OK to walk up a small hill. The staff is friendly, kind, and helpful. The nice thing about the hotel is that you can take the elevator to the pool level, and have easy access to the CA Coastal Trail. It's also nice to be near the Urth Caffè and the Art Museum. The place is going to be gorgeous after the renovation, but...

When I felt functional we enjoyed walks on the pier across the street, walks on the beach great restaurants & yummy ice cream. The view from our room was perfect, very clean, kitchen (fully stocked) with all equipment you would need to cook full meals, refrigerator & freezer, microwave. We will definitely...
