My wife and I spent our first anniversary here and it was a delightful little hotel. The room was fantastic. The bathroom was beautiful, from the fixtures to the tile. The furniture was very tasteful and comfortable. The staff were so friendly, greeting us by name each time we entered the lobby or saw them on the property. They took very good care of us. Cardiff is a wonderful sleepy surf town, just what we wanted. We will be back for sure.

One of my favorite places!
The hotel was wonderful before and now after renovations it is even better! The staff is very nice and helpful. Each room hss a record player and there are new records of all music styles from which to pick. Rolling Stones! Street parking is available for free or paid garage parking. The rooftop area is outstanding with Pacific views. The area is beautiful with restaurants close by. Cannot wait to stay again!

It would have been a cute little place, but the rooms are really outdated. There was damaged property here and there taped off. Our room had a musty smell that made it difficult to sleep. BUT the location and free parking were really convenient. We were able to walk easily to the beach and local coffee shops, bakeries, and taco joints.

The location & room is pretty nice to stay but the one of staff in front desk is not friendly at all. As a customer someone is not responding or a little friendly greeting in the morning not supposed to be there.

The location and view were great, the people were friendly and courteous. The cleaning smell knocked us over. It was a strong scent that required airing the room out for several hours. The wallpaper was peeling, and a shelf fell down and narrowly missed my wife's foot. The GFI plug next to the sink did not work, and all of the other outlets would not hold a charger transformer plug for our phones. I had to borrow an extension cord from the front desk. They should not be renting out rooms until the renovation is completed. There is no elevator, and I can't find anything in the description of the property that stated that. I am waiting for a hip replacement surgery, it was difficult for me.
