Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We very much enjoyed our stay and loved there were bikes for use on site!"

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I can not say enough great things about this hotel. I had to find a place to stay overnight with my family and my dog very unexpectedly. The staff was warm, welcoming, and immediately made me and my family (including my dog) feel safe. The person on duty, Ben, made sure our needs were met and that we understood the property amenities. My granddaughter really enjoyed the pool and the location is fantastic - in easy walking distance to the beach and some great local restaurants."

Inn By The Harbor

6/10 Okay

"The outside is cute and it is a good location but our room needed to be redone. There are no bathroom toiletries provided so make sure you bring what you need. I saw an open room that had nice plank flooring like the photos but ours had old carpet and the room was just old & depressing. It did have a little kitchen but we didn’t use it. They also provide a little happy hour with wine & cheese. We didn’t take advantage of the breakfast but I believe it was pastry’s. I just think for the money our room was not worth it, but maybe some of the other rooms are."

Hotel Californian

4/10 Poor

"We stayed here one night in May. Here are the highlights: -Hotel staff was nowhere to be found once we were escorted to the building we were staying in (multiple buildings). -The hotel bar closed at 8pm. -We attempted to make use of the amenities - rooftop pool - but due to what I presume was cloudy weather the chairs outside had no cushions and there were no hotel staff to service. -I was awakened by a 3am washing of our room's windows. I contacted staff which got back to me 6 hours later to apologize and offer some credit for the inconvenience. This was unacceptable and ridiculous. What an oversight. -The next day we met up with friends at the pool which was crowded. It took 1 hour for our diet cokes to arrive. And my friend was treated rudely by the staff member running the pool. I'm not sure if he ended up paying for fruit that we never received. -After checkout I was surprised to be charged for undisclosed $60+ "leisure fees" and $14 delivery for the room service we ordered on arrival (ultimately this was comped due to the window incident). But I really wonder how they possibly justify this added expense given the lack of attentive staff and narrow hours of operation. Overall this is simply not a luxury destination hotel. It's a beautiful location with well designed facilities. But they are currently charging inflated rates for what seemed like a short-staffed operation."
