8/10 Very good

The property is located in a interesting area close to restaurants and some shopping. the only downside is that there is neither an elevator or ramp to the upstairs rooms so dragging a suitcase up is challenging.
Joseph, 2-night trip

The property is definitely coming along. If they pay attention to a few more details it could truly be great.

It was lovely and the staff were accommodating we had a shower issue and reported it at 11am by 5 a plumber came and fixed it. Sheets could be nicer but room size and comfort overall were good.

Great location and views. Property is very nice and the rooftop patio is spectacular. Should be noted that there is no elevator so not great for lots of luggage or mobility issues.

Best hotel in the area by far!
I’ve stayed in many hotels in the Del Mar to Encinitas stretch of coast and this was the best! From the smiling welcome, the complimentary Prosecco, the large, newly decorated lovely room and all the other nice touches, this was an outstanding stay. Great location too. Will definitely return.

The beach.

Perfect beach view location
The location can’t be beat. One block to the ocean, and the rooms are very clean and decorated beautifully. Breakfast includes a muffin and juice each morning, which can be enjoyed on the most beautiful rooftop deck overlooking the ocean.
