10/10 Excellent
"White Caps Motel was extremely convenient for our Highway 1 road trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles. We arrived late at night, check-in was completely seamless and hassle-free. The room looked brand new, fresh, clean and it was just a few minutes walk from the ocean. Highly recommended for anyone making the coastal drive"

Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property. On the expensive side but well worth it. I got a basic king suite and it was perfect. The pool area was great for the kids with plenty of space and loungers. I loved that they had a staff member whose only job was to offer treats, tennis balls and pup cups to guests with dogs, so cute! 10/10 The young man at the valet was especially helpful and nice"
