Pretty boutique hotel, in excellent location with nice updated room
Pros:

Beautiful Property within walking distance of beach, restaurants and activities. I enjoyed using the pool and jacuzzi. They had a nice beach chair, towels and umbrella to loan. We were given 2 canned cocktails on arrival. I really recommend the Arroyo Burro Beach and the Loon Point Beaches.

Cons:

Was glad for the parking, even though the spaces are a bit tight. I was surprised by the $18 per day parking charge. Must have missed that piece of info in reading other reviews.

Perfect location near the beach, well equipped with all amenities
Pros:

The hotel is in a perfect location, walking distance from the beach and from downtown. The swimming pool is well equipped with beach towels and nice sunbeds. The beds in the room are very comfortable, the room has everything you need including shampoo and conditioner, hairdryer, even a steamer for your clothes. The shower is very spacious and the shower head has a large jet. Staff at the front desk have been very helpful with any request. There are coffee dispensers, cookies and fruit at the reception available 24h a day plus there is a coffee maker in the room.

Cons:

The room was a bit small for 4 people and the sink was in the room rather than in the bathroom, so it was a bit noisy in the morning when one of us would get up before others.
