Elevator is slow AF. Avoid if you are claustrophobic. Bed was uncomfortable, way too soft. I sank in it.

9/10 Wonderful! (112 reviews)
Late night check in was a huge help after a delayed arrival. The Eden staff knew of my plans and someone was waiting at the front desk when I arrived around 2 a.m. Not sure if that’s typical, but it made check in effortless after a long travel day. The team was accommodating when I needed to adjust my reservation ahead of time, which I really appreciated. The rooms were private, quiet, and clean. The older boutique charm is a nice change from your typical name brand hotel. One thing to note is that some rooms don’t have standard showers but instead feature large jacuzzi tubs with built in showers. If traveling with someone elderly or needing easier access, it may be worth noting this with the hotel prior to your stay. The pool area was clean and calm, not heavily used during my stay. It was great for both relaxing by the water or getting work done. There was plenty of seating in both sun and shade, with options that offered a bit of privacy. Hotel is located directly across the street from the beach and walking distance to major shops, restaurants, and bars. The attached coffee shop was convenient for someone unfamiliar with the area seeking a local option that's not Starbucks. The space had open seating for guests to use along with a collection of games and books. Staff was friendly and helpful in providing suggestions for dinner and drinks.

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Central California during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we travel, but it hasn't put the brakes on our eagerness for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to navigate travel's new challenges:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
  • You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for identification purposes when asked.
  • Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on baggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for scanning.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, place personal items such as your phone, wallet and keys into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • If you're bringing food on the plane, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
