1) Rooms with Jacuzzi only 40 feet from front desk. Very noisy. 2) Jacuzzi didn't work. Heater is gas fireplace and doesn't work well. 3) Pipes are VERY noisy - sounds like a subway train when neighbor takes a shower.

This small hotel is a great place to stay. Comfortable, friendly and you couldn't ask for better service. We'll be back. Not on the water, but only a short walk to the beach. Our room was super clean and quiet.

my girlfriend and I drove up from santa barbara on a great coastal drive. We arrived in the evening, friendly check-in with a latino singer at the bar. The start has been perfect. The room we had was at the ground floor: once in we couldn't believe our eyes. A jacuzzi almost in the centre of the room, massive bed... More

This was the second time I stayed at this lovely boutique hotel. Still loved it as much as the first time. Staff is very helpful. It was my husband's and my anniversary and we were there with friends. I had champagne by myself, compliments of Hallie, as no one else in our group wanted any. Matthew had great food and... More

Had an overnight stay and we were not dissapointed. We were lucky to get an upgrade and staff were great. Spacious clean room with open (gas) fire.

Lovely hotel, that is clean, quiet, great beds, and decor. We took advantage of the winter specials and stayed in a King Deluxe. Note this is not a hotel that you can cancel at the last minute. You will need a least five days and with the specials you pay upfront. But it is worth it. Also if you bring... More

All the elements are there for this to be a super great hotel, but it seemed like things just didn't come together. It seemed somewhat dated and seemed cold - perhaps in need of some warming design elements. But, it was clean, spacious and had a nice continental breakfast.

What I liked most was the cleanliness! I travel a lot and this was of the cleanest places I've stated. Clean and modern with a wooden raised path right next door that goes to Moonstone Beach. It is also right by the west side downtown. Staff was very nice and the jacuzzi tub and in room fireplace were romantic. We... More

We stayed at the El Colibri en route from the Bay Area to LA. Cambria (wine tasting) and nearby Hearst Castle break up the trip very nicely. The El Colibri is modern, well appointed and well located (but not directly fronting Moonstone Beach). If you can live without it being beachfront, it is a great option. We would (and plan... More
