Stilwell Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Dialed in. Comfortable rooms And public areas. Not to big of a place and close to Main Street. Worth it versus some of the older spots… I guess depends on what you like."

Hofsas House Hotel

8/10 Good

"THis is a really sweet hotel. It's older so my ratings reflect that. That being said, my room was huge and had a small kitchen area with a microwave and fridge. There was a sitting area and large windows, so I drank coffee facing the ocean! The bathroom was also large and had pink tile. For an older hotel, it was clean and spacious. Make sure to request a room on a level that has access - there is no elevator. It's close to downtown and walking distance to many excellent restaurants and galleries. The staff is very helpful and nice."

Le Petit Pali at 8th Ave

10/10 Excellent

"Attentive staff, lovely outdoor seating and delicious breakfast selection!"

La Playa Hotel

"Amazing and beautiful hotel"

Le Petit Pali at Ocean Ave

8/10 Good

"The hotel is super cute in a great location. You get champagne upon arrival, they have specials nightly which is great we were just disappointed there were no parking spots for us nor anywhere else they could offer for our car besides street parking. When paying as much as we did a night I'd expect a parking spot. The rooms are VERY small but super cute and quaint. The breakfast is good in the morning, minimal but worked for us"
