"Nice hotel with nice walking views, toasted s’mores at nice by there fire pits they have. Not many around so may not be able to make s’mores at night. They say they have beach access but it’s a far walk and the beach is not one where kids can play in."

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"Cute room, convenient restaurant. I had a lot of problems with the bathroom. There was not even a place to set down your bar of soap because the sink had no vanity and it sloped so anything you set down just fell right into the sink. There were no drawers for your toiletries, no shelf other than the one that was completely taken up by toilet paper and Kleenex. In other words, if you put toothpaste on your toothbrush, you had no place to set the toothpaste while you were brushing. It was that inconvenient. They kept the hairdryer in the room because there was no place for it in the bathroom.I also strongly believe that toilets should have a lid. That is a sanitation issue.There is a make up mirror which is a nice feature, but the little lamp next to it was completely inadequate for putting on makeup."
