Overall it was nice for the price, but didn’t see it to be as great as others made it out to be. Parking is tight so don’t bring a large vehicle.

The hotel was very cute, unique and had character! It was not the cookie cutter hotel and room like the larger chains. Parking was great! The pool area was so nice! We loved our room and the amenities. The staff was very friendly!

We’ve stayed here several times and always enjoyed our time. Very convenient especially if you are going to the Pageant of the Masters!

The hotel is clean and comfortable. Anderson was the staff member we interacted with both days we were there, and he was extremely helpful. The location is great: a block from the beach (and the hotel provides towels and chairs); a block and a half from the free trolley stop;and a couple blocks from excellent restaurants. We were especially happy with Anderson's suggestion, Urth Caffe. It's a perfect place to stay for Pageant of the Masters. We took the free trolley there and back.
