"Can't wait to be back!"

9.0

Perfect location, rooms are very spacious and nice, very cozy romantic rooftop. Had oysters at 101 walking distance, great coffee right across the street, can walk to the beach to surf. Complimentary prosecco and fresh juices.

Parking inside is extra cost.

"Quiet and cute but not very private"

8.0

It was quiet and the room was nicely remodeled. The floor was a bit dirty, so my feet got some dirt on the sheets. And I asked if I could upgrade my room, the gentleman said it would cost $80 more but I felt over $300 was already steep for one night. The worst part was right outside my window was an open staircase to the alley. The gate is at the top of the stairs and there is a landing directly outside my window. I didn’t feel very safe traveling solo.

We had a wonderful stay! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The property itself is beautiful—well-kept, stylish, and relaxing. One of the highlights was the rooftop lounging area, which was the perfect spot to unwind and watch the sunset. Plus, the beach access was just a short walk away, making it easy to enjoy the ocean any time of day. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
