"Nice hotel in a great location. We booked an upgraded room on the 4th floor that had a great view and roomy balcony. I didn't see an air conditioner, so we kept the windows open and that was fine. Staff was great. Breakfast was included and was ok, about like HI Express. There's a nice market and deli next door which was super convenient. Price was reasonable. I would definitely stay there again."

"Spectacular cliffside property. Absolutely AMAZING views. The property is incredibly landscaped. Staff are excellent and helpful. for seniors and disabled persons it is a CHALLENGE to walk to property due to Many steps and steep inclines between the main building/lobby/restaurant and rooms and parking. That’s the only complaint. Rooms are very nicely done and the bed was excellent. Also…the One ice machine on property was broken. Would stay again but would ask for a room easier to walk."
