8/10 Good
"Very beautiful spot on the coast. Very boutique size which is nice and located centrally to many great shops and restaurants. The resort restaurant does not quite live up to a standard for this type of resort. Selections are extremely limited and not one shrimp option on the menu. Rather odd. Very quiet and comfortable rooms. Staff are excellent."

"Updated and modern hotel with comfortable beds and rooms. Location is nice as you can exit the hotel to the street behind the hotel; then the walkway and stairs to the Solana Beach are easily accessible. There are no nice views to the sides of the hotel but again the location with walks on the beach and Del Mar restaurants are nearby. Staff was great at this hotel."
