We liked our stay but were disappointed that there was no elevator. The staff was very nice and helped with the luggage. Breakfast was very good and in a great location on the top floor overlooking the bay.

Second time here. Price was fine, older property. I got the exact same room as last trip. We stayed 4 nights with zero housecleaning; no trash taken, no fresh towels, nothing. For a couple nights that is fine, but 4 nights we should at least get our trash taken out. Breakfast service was great!

Spanish art and south American pottery craft are scattered throughout the rooms and public spaces. A roof top patio where you you can enjoy a complementary breakfast while immersing yourself in the sounds of the waves on the beach below and the view of the bay and pacific Ocean is the piece de resistance.

And no Elevator and the doors were all keys no keyless.

Quaint hotel

We had a lovely time. The breakfast was great with options to choose and the view is wonderful! The room was fine for our family. The only thing that would of made it outstanding is an elevator to the Sun deck. Be prepared to walk up the stairs for breakfast 🙂

This property is cozy, clean and quiet. I liked walking out the front to the beach and down the street for shopping and food. They have beach towels at the front door, self serve coffee/tea, and pie in the evenings. It's a fun place. The staff is very helpful.
