Ill make this short and sweet as this place is not worth my time. Heard this place was cool with its themed rooms and location by the ocean. this is a small inn with maybe 15 rooms that are all themed in some fashion. i was in the Mediterranean room # 105 in the back that looked out over the back parking lot. first off parking is below the building but if it fills up you need to park in the lot adjacent to the inn. check in was quick and easy it is an old hotel so there is no electronic key, you get one key to your room and one to the roof top lounge that is actually quite nice. so the room dated, smelled funny old ac unit above the bathroom entry ODD? the bathroom had no door just a long hallway like entry the toilet seat in my room was broken. bathtub was big but not a Jacuzzi tub. the plugs in my room didn't work i didn't know this until i plugged in my Iphone and it began to beep i looked down and the charging bar was going crazy i unplugged it real fast and looked down at the plug, it had red X's written on the outlet cover signifying some sort of short or something, all the lamps didn't work if plugged into the lower plug so they had a problem. the TV when turned on was all purple on the screen and there was no volume because it didn't work. oh and getting back to the upstairs it has a great look out with fire pit and Jacuzzi tub and a sitting area great view of the ocean but they close the roof access off at 10 pm for some reason, if you don't get the fire pit early hopefully you not shy as there is only about 4 seats that fit around it, there is a bathroom up there but didn't check it out. upon check out to complain about my issues the lobby doesn't open till 7 am well the girl doesn't get there till 715 or sooooo she says not knowing to her i was waiting till 720 and had to leave to go to my appointment which there is no key drop box so your kinda stuck if your there on business. of course the closing front desk guy told me we open promptly at 7. so in speaking with the lady in the morning first i told her she was late and then proceeded to tell her everything you have read so far. her reply was. OH they didn't tell you the hotel was being renovated and it was going to close in 2 weeks,, then it was oh yes i marked the plugs with red X's they don't work there's a short,,,, so i told her if i blew up my cell phone or computer this place would pay for them. then the TV she said OH it needed to be reset? / just great lady and the toilet seat she said ill send someone to look at it. lol. now the government agency i work for i could have shut this place down for the wiring issue and having tenants inside when they know theirs an issue that could lead to a fire. but i let her rant as i didn't have the time to execute it myself but did let the San Diego Office know of this places activities. so should you stay here NO, one night maybe but to me there rooms even though there decorated isn't worth the price. oh and the bed was a memory foam mattress just not good. and after all that did i get a discount on the room or anything NOPE all i got was Well they should have told you when you checked in the hotel was being renovated. no dear you should have told us that when i made my reservations,,,,,, I wont stay here again.  Read Less

From the photos on their website, this looks like a charming place to stay. Unfortunately, we checked out about 30 minutes after checking in. After being escorted to our room (with no help carrying our bags), I backed out of the room without entering it due to the overwhelming smell of chemical cleaners. It was a serious turnoff. The staff person offered to "spray it with something to take away the smell" which I declined. I pointed out that the place has a serious mold problem and was told "that's because it's so close to the ocean." Well, I've stayed at plenty of places close to the ocean that did not reek of the smell of mold. Then I was told that the whole place was scheduled to be torn down and rebuilt soon because of the issues associated with the age of the hotel and the condition it was in. I asked whether the "signature" room that is featured on their website was available and would told it wasn't. I asked if any of the other rooms looked like that and was told it was the only one. They did show me one other room but it too reeked of mold. I checked out then, paying for one night as a penalty. Do yourself a favor and just stay away.   Read Less

I loved the uniqueness of the rooms all being a different motif. I got a choice of rooms by the front desk clerk, Dawn. I had a partial view of the ocean and the room was very large and comfortable. I too am SAD about the planned renovations. The bathrooms need up-grading as well as electricity as some of the outlets didn't work. An elevator will be a good addition, however, I do like the shingles and the variety of the rooms. I spotted the hotel very easily because of the shingle tower! The wood work in some of them was hand made and going back to the carpenter who created the works of art. The location is fantastic and the staff went out of their way to help you with anything. Hope they stay with the company thru the renovations! Roof top was marvelous for visiting, eating, cocktail hour, sunsets,and star gazing. At the fire pit you could make some-mores which the evening clerk, Anthony, provided the ingredients and sticks!! I would love to go back before they remove the CHARM of this fantastic hotel. It was very clean and the maids very friendly. Walking distance to beach, restaurants, grocery store, etc. made my stay even better.  Read Less
