Lovely and unique B&B. Staff is wonderful and very accommodating. Beautiful rooftop terrace and gardens.... serene.... nice jacuzzi and enjoyed sitting by the fire pit nightly! Amazing sunsets experienced on the terrace. Underground parking. Close to the beach and local eateries. Will absolutely be back!!! No restaurant directly on the premises, but the extended continental breakfast each morning, was fabulous..... More

We are locals to San Diego and thought we would support our local economy with a little overnight getaway in our own community. Thank goodness we purchased our one night on Groupon so that we didn't waste even more of our hard earned money! When we arrived and walked into the incredibly tacky and dated lobby, we should've been tipped... More

This is a very unique and lovely B+B. Very nice staff. The owners couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. An ideal location with beautiful gardens and the jacuzzi is great with nice strong jets. We will definitely be back and will tell others about our fabulous find. More

We stayed here for one night in September. Although they call it a B&B, it seemed like it was more of a hotel than a traditional bed and breakfast. The room (Cullen) was very dated and it needed some maintenance, a new bed spread and new carpet. Plus the wallpaper was peeling off the wall and the room smelled musty.... More

Like several other reviewers, we found this place via Groupon. Having read other reviews before our stay, our expectations were not high for our 2 night stay. I debated cancelliing the 2nd paid night but cancellation policy is strict and we decided for 2 nights, we could handle whatever came up. First the Bad stuff - 1) this place is... More

For as much money this lodge charges for a room, you are much better off paying for a Hilton, Marriott, etc. Only plus is the location...5 min walk to the beach. Now for the negatives... Room: French Garden room outdated & stunk of mildew. We had to leave our door open to freshen up the room. Bed cover looked dirty.... More

Staff was very helpful at check in. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The light switches were a little confusing in our room but our room but we eventually got it all figured out. Loved having the baskets in the shelf to keep my things organized! Nice tub and shower. Breakfast was delicious! Loved all the fresh fruit, yogurt,... More

I purchased this hotel stay as a Groupon. We stayed for 2 nights and had one of the best anniversaries. But because of the ambiance and location I would go back and pay full price. The room was antiquated, but comfortable and quiet (except for the A/C unit kicking on out our window every 5 minutes, but didn't occur at... More

I read plenty of reviews before booking a room with Cardiff-by-the-Sea Lodge and figured I’d see for myself. Both the goods and the bads were right on. Access to the beach was awesome but that's almost the only good. First off the owner’s son checked us in and boy what a negative attitude he displayed and I felt there may... More
