Catered to families with kids. Great views and friendly staff. Everything was clean. I suggest staying on an upper floor as you will hear every footstep from the exterior to the inside of the rooms. ##### Francis Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Paul 19 Jun 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort Experience wasn’t as expected and during construction unfortunately. ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabine 14 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very peacefully and relaxing! ##### Sabine Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Arunita 3 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property and landscape and good food. A few challenges were (1) the weather being too chilly and windy to enjoy the beach and bonfires, but obviously not under our control and that’s what’s expected in norcal, (2) no air conditioning in the room we were in so we had to switch multiple times between opening the windows and balcony doors, getting very chilly, and turning on the fireplace, getting really hot and stuffy., (3) the spa service was nice but it was loud for a spa. You could hear the next door neighbors and the massage tables for some reason shook during the session. But overall, it was a very relaxing experience. And I would go back again just to enjoy the peace and quiet and the views. ##### Arunita Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emmanuel 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great ##### Emmanuel ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Los Gatos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Gatos-Hotels-Hotel-Los-Gatos.h896049.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Narrow Gauge Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fish-Camp-Hotels-Narrow-Gauge-Inn.h4905068.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Papillon Cellars](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mariposa-Hotels-Papillon-Cellars.h36250072.Hotel-Information) > > [Casablanca Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Clemente-Hotels-Casablanca-Inn.h13340.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ameswell Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mountain-View-Hotels-The-Ameswell-Hotel.h67369193.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Palo Alto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palo-Alto-Hotels-The-Westin-Palo-Alto.h428694.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16130.Hotel-Information) > > [Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Tahoe-Lakeshore-Lodge-Spa.h19231.Hotel-Information) > > [Pismo Lighthouse Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Pismo-Lighthouse-Suites.h10966.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Monterey-Hotel-Spa.h18152.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenaya at Yosemite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fish-Camp-Hotels-Tenaya-At-Yosemite.h28451.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites South Lake Tahoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-South-Lake-Tahoe.h8881.Hotel-Information) > > [AutoCamp Yosemite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mariposa-Hotels-AutoCamp-Yosemite.h29554711.Hotel-Information) > > [Little Sur Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Simeon-Hotels-Little-Sur-Inn.h1340615.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vinea, a Travelodge by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Healdsburg-Hotels-Hotel-Vinea.h126590.Hotel-Information) > > [SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-SeaCrest-OceanFront-Hotel.h1365352.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Orange County](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Orange-County.h15965.Hotel-Information) > > [Nature's Inn Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ahwahnee-Hotels-Natures-Inn-Bed-And-Breakfast.h5409429.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Mountain Inn Nude Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Sea-Mountain-Inn-Nude-Resort-Adults-Only.h27490625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Lake-Tahoe-Vacation-Resort-By-Diamond-Resorts.h64098.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Carmel Mission Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Carmel-Mission-Inn.h21218.Hotel-Information)
