hopeful 4 improvments

I’m fortunate 2 travel a lot & stay at plenty hotels… this experience was mixed… the location is great because it’s walkable 2 the pier & other social/restaurant/shopping options… the hotel has character & theres some nice choices in the room that make it unique… there was a hostel feel 2 this hotel. There’s furniture in the hallway that feels like it should be put away out of view… the windows in the room functioned poorly & should be replaced… felt a little unsafe especially being so close 2 the walk path & alley… i really do hope some upgrades are made 4 safety, aesthetics & cleanliness while maintaining the character of this hotel… i would refrain from recommending it 2 others right now. Peace & bestings.

Beach Front Reasonably Priced with Added Charm

The hotel itself is actually an old historical building. Each room has so much character and charm. Our particular room had a full kitchen along with an amazing beach front view. Literally, steps away from the sand. The building remains locked and needs a code to get into. There is no hotel parking, but they do give you a permit to park on the streets. With that being said, everything is walking distance. Bars, restaurants, cafes, there is no need to even leave. Lastly, Jay was an incredible! He gets 5 stars for himself lol. He was very accommodating and made sure we were taken care of. All in all, great experience and would highly recommend to someone looking for a beach front stay.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautifully restored 1923 hotel. The location is unbeatable—right on the beach and just steps from great restaurants and shops. The historic charm has been thoughtfully preserved, and the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating throughout my visit. While the room wasn’t very soundproof and got a bit warm, these were minor issues compared to the overall experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable beach getaway. ⸻ Would you like help adding a star rating or uploading this directly to Expedia?

Better alternatives for a beach stay

Hotel is very old, maintenance has been deferred. No screens on windows and hard to open. Paint peeling in bathroom, shower not clean. My room had garbage dumpster outside. Would not stay here again.

Never have I felt so welcomed and looked after on vacation as I did at the Vurpillat! Thank you, Jay, for your wonderful hospitality. Another highlight of this charming hotel is its location, close to everything that beautiful Hermosa has to offer. I didn’t want to leave! Highly recommended.

Loved our week at the Vurpillat! The staff was very accommodating and welcoming. Super helpful with parking and any requests. The rooms are clean and comfortable and we loved the vintage vibe. Some updating could be done but the imperfections add to the charm. We’ll be back!
