This hotel was an absolute gem! It's perfectly situated right on the beach, close to Pacific Beach, and surrounded by everything you could possibly need. Our stay was wonderful, with clean and comfortable rooms and a staff that was beyond friendly and helpful. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the excellent European dishes offered. The facilities were top-notch, making our experience even better. The only downside was the price, which some might find a bit high, but for the quality and prime location, it was worth every penny.
