Cardiff-by-the-Sea 4 Stars Hotels

"We booked a weekend getaway here for our 25th anniversary. We previously stayed in January 2025 and had a great experience, so we returned for two nights. Check-in was smooth, but we were surprised to find our total differed from our Expedia receipt. We were told parking would be $49/night, which hadn’t been disclosed on any communication received from Expedia. To their credit, the manager kindly reduced it to $22/night, which we appreciated—though it still felt odd given each bungalow has a designated spot. The bungalow itself was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with coffee and two complimentary waters. There was a noticeable lingering cleaning product smell for a while, but overall the room was comfortable. We also enjoyed the small private yard with chairs, and the location near the jacuzzi was a plus (even if our previous visit had a better view). One ongoing frustration is the lack of in-room entertainment. Although were were given a list of channels, the TV itself has no guide, so you’re left scrolling through channels, and there are no streaming options or ability to connect your own device. After a long day out, that made it harder to unwind. Overall, we had a good stay, but a few inconveniences may make us consider other options next time."

"Our stay was wonderful. It’s great that the Marriott is located right near a Starbucks and kiddie corner from a Westfield mall with lots of great restaurants and shops! Rooms were clean and comfortable and staff very kind and helpful!"

"We will definitely book here again."

"Place is dated. No elevator working, so we had to carry luggage upstairs. Pickleball courts were packed, so we were not able to play. "

"Every day went there was very polite. It’s great for kids. The pool is open till 10. The slides do close early though at 5 PM I think."

"We had a fantastic time. Planned on going out in north park but just ended up enjoying the hotel! "
