Top Central California Hotel Reviews

Cottage Inn By The Sea

Cottage Inn By The Sea

10/10 Excellent
"Loved our oceanfront room. Seagulls all night long a little too noisy & disruptive. Loved the mini quiche in the Bistro, and would love the recipe! Fire tables were lovely. Decor in-room was warm and tasteful. Bathrooms need fans so we could close the window in the shower. Would have been nice to know there were robes if we had known to ask. We'd stay in the same room again."

"Amazing location, great price, but the robe hook and the toilet paper roll holder were both falling out of the wall when we arrived. It was clean but a little run down. The view and the outdoor fire pits made up for it. Would likely stay there again."
