love this place

A+cleanliness, location, great staff

Very clean, great staff. Nice coffee/tea/water/soda bar. Could use softer towels and warmer bedding, we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the wall fireplace/heater. Great location, we enjoyed reading the history of the property and the parts of the original home that was preserved in the renovation.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Warm hospitality, and cozy rooms with unique charm. The fireplace and tub were our favorite amenities.
Tristan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The mattress was uncomfortable- hard. Heater/A/C noisy. You can hear the people in the next room. You can hear the next room over heater/AC if on. Only had decaf coffee pods. Location was great.

I booked this hotel for a night stay. The room is clean and neat. Bathroom was wonderful. The checkin time is 3PM to 9PM. Lily stayed until 9.45PM for my check in , because I was bit late all the way from Los Angeles. Lily is so generous and was very helpful. I had a wonderful stay here. Everything is walkable including the beach. I will stay again.
