Cute and very walkable, numerous cafés. Also plenty of green space. Somewhat sleepy on a Monday, all the museums are closed.

Nice area with a variety of places to eat. I was in a hurry, and was able to find a place to quickly get a healthy meal. I had most of it boxed up and had it for breakfast, since there was a microwave in the room. That was very convenient.

Nice and close to the coast and PCH 1, incredible views and things to do.
"We had an amazing time at this iconic hotel. We had a Bayview room that had an amazing view. The room was immaculate and the service exceptional. My only suggestion is that there should be space in the refrigerator for the guest’s items. It is so stocked with mini bar items for which you are automatically charged when you remove them there was no space for a bottle of seltzer or a can of soda."
"the property is beautiful its just sad to see how the local politicians have destroyed the areas beauty with allowing homelessness drugs and crime... "
