"I really enjoyed my stay at this property! Amber at reception sent me a message as soon as my room was ready so I was able to get in a bit early, which was greatly appreciated because I had just finished the Trans-Catalina Trail and was in desperate need of a shower. Amber also had great recommendations for restaurants. The property itself is clean and comfortable, and has a two-level roof deck with fantastic views. They also offered beach towels for guests. Overall I would recommend! "
