8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel with a lot of charm. We had an ocean-facing room, and I loved the decor. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast spread was excellent and one of the best we've had at a hotel. The service was also top-notch. I deducted a star for the room's shower, which smelled musty and was a distraction from the otherwise perfect experience.

Chitrakshi, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very expensive for mini-sized room ($1200). We reserved a room with an ocean view and if you stand in the exactly right spot and crane your head—you may see a bit of the ocean. Over-priced and under delivered. Plus—extremely limited parking (good luck finding a spot).

One of the best hotels ive ever stayed in. Old workd California charm on another level. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond. The lobby and grounds make you feel like you are on the set of a movie. I cant say enough good things.

6/10 Good

Property is quite nice good location and good bones. Restaurant is nice. Food was great. Service at restaurant was great. Front Desk did not honor my reservation. Said it did not exist and was very difficult. Said call Expedia and figure it out. Had to really escalate to just even stay there.
