Top The Giant Chessboard Hotel Reviews

Blue Sail Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everything from the staff check in to the amazing room with our Bay View being immaculately clean and stocked with whatever we needed to Housekeeping smiling being kind. It's the only place we love to stay."

Pacific Shores Inn

8/10 Good

"The woman at the desk was very pleasant and helpful. Our first impression of the hotel was marred by seagulls who jumped on our car, including on the windshield. They turned out to be omnipresent. The room was large but gaudy in decor. Towels were thin and really need to be replaced. An Ok stay but we wouldn’t do it again. We found the town not very appealing, which affected our sense of the accommodation."

La Serena Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff was great. Very welcoming and helpful! The view was great and the room was spacious. But the carpet was stained and didn’t look clean at all. It really grossed me out. And everything in the room seemed cheap. The towels, the coffee maker and the hair dryer. The pictures on line are a little deceiving. It just needs some updating. The view and location made up for some of that."
