10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful experience at the Wayfair Hotel. Our room was right near the pool so very easy access. The pool area felt cozy, private, but right next to the action and Boardwalk when you wanted to get out. Staff and location was excellent. We would definitely stay again."

10/10 Excellent
"I enjoyed my time at paradise point hotel. I would say that my main complaint was the distance our room was away from the pool. Restaurants and the lobby. It made it a bit of a hassle, even with a vehicle. Plus the nightly fee of $45 for parking on top of an almost $50 resort fee per night was excessive and surprising. If staff were more willing to help give rides back and forth to our room it would have made my time here more relaxing. But with the heat, it wasn’t very enjoyable."

8/10 Good
"We had a very nice room with great view of the ocean. The beds were comfortable, Bathroom clean (but small) the room was spacious. Had a small balcony. The hotel is located by many shops, restaurants, bars, and the beach. This being said it is a bit noisy until about 11pm. The hotel is quaint, not modern, but some upgrades mixed with old time beach hotel. We enjoyed our stay"

Humphreys Half Moon Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I cannot say enough about the friendly staff. From the front desk staff to the housekeeping, we were pleasantly surprised! The grounds were very well kept. The pool area was very clean. We were walking distance to the pier and went fishing there every evening. You do not need a CA fishing license to fish off this pier. This island does not have a huge area for swimming. There is a small section of sand across the street from the hotel, but you would need to drive to another beach if you wanted to play in the waves/sand with kids. Overall, loved our visit and we will be back!"
