Pros:

is a quaint cozy little hostel across the street from the ocean. Midway between San Jacinto & San Clemente.

Cons:

floor plan a bit odd. Bathroom quite a distance from main bedroom. Breakfast could have had more options. Coffee was a miss.

Fantastic quiet location
Pros:

Location and staff are fantastic.

Cons:

The room I was in had Ac in main area, just not in the bedroom. Was ok but the warm season was just a month away so be careful.
I turned the Ac to 19 in main area and ran all the fans.
Just saying..

Exceptional
Pros:

This was a wonderful relaxing visit, I enjoyed the hotel so much. They have a beautiful garden and pool, very quiet and relaxing. The hosts were the best people you could want. I visited to have a quiet escape that was not in a big city and this was perfect. I can say the posted pictures are true to the place and it is well kept.
