This property is stunning. So much to do you don’t even need to leave the hotel. The staff are bizarrely friendly, so helpful and charming. I’d say the only surprise that we had to adjust to was the music by the pool is loud and plays late into the night and starts again at 9 am every morning. The walls are thin so we heard our neighbors TVs. They do provide earplugs - so it’s fine. I want to go back already, I loved this hotel.

I stayed here with my daughter and BFF and we had a fabulous time. This hotel is beautiful and takes retro style to a whole new level of amazingness. The attention to detail is impeccable. The pool is beautiful; it’s like being transported to the height of the 1950s or 1960s and made us feel like we stepped into a glamorous era. We saw women with full body tattoos and older ladies with flowered bathing caps. It’s super popular at night and don’t miss brunch on the outside patio overlooking the pool and dinner at Quixote! There’s so much to do and I can’t wait to come back!

This is such a special, ornate, beautifully decorated property with such attention to detail. From check in to the attention at the pool bar and the most delicious meal at Quixote conveniently located in the hotel, this staycation in San Diego felt like an escape to a Parisian beach club and we will def be back!

Definitely lives up to the hype! Staff was super helpful and friendly during check in. It does get very busy at night but our room was nice and quiet. The pool was busy during the day but we were still able to get a couple of lounge chairs once people left. Lou Lou’s was gorgeous! Can’t wait to come back!
