Wow! This place REALLY exceeded my highest hopes. Only because it was so darn cheap so I couldn't imagine it being as nice as everyone else said. It is! We had a room with 2 king beds and a fireplace. It was very classy, modern and tastefully decorated. The bathroom was very clean and updated as well. Beds were super-comfortable... More

We just stayed here for 3 nights and stayed in an ocean view room. You can also sit outside by the fence overlooking the ocean...we could have sat there for hours watching the waves and surfers. The breakfast had more than most with a continental breakfast, and we had different things each day. The rooms are a little small, but... More

Ok so this place is not the four seasons. But if your travelling through on a road trip I don't think you can knock this place. It's rooms are clean and the staff are helpful. The ocean view room we had had the most spectacular views of the beach. We were lucky enough to watch Dolphins swimming in the surf.... More

It's amazing that so many people survive in the hospitality business and still manage to get it so wrong. Well for them - and any aspiring entrants - come to the Cottage Inn by the Sea to see how it should be done. A great seaview room and the warmest of welcomes only added to the specialness of the location.... More

I stopped here overnight while taking the scenic route back from San Francisco to LA. I didn't expect to enjoy it so much, I now want to come back for a long weekend! The staff was very friendly and our room was perfect, it was on the 2nd floor with an ocean view and a fireplace. More

We just got back from a two-night stay in an oceanview room. It was fantastic! For the price, we were very impressed with the quality of the hotel, including the room itself, location, service, etc. I highly recommend the upgrade to oceanview, which has a stunning view, plus you can smell and hear the ocean. We fell asleep every night... More

My family and I visit this hotel at least once a year and are always pleased. The staff is very friendly. This time our warmest greeting was given upon exiting the lobby by a maintenance employee, someone who might ignore you elsewhere. The garden along the oceanside rooms make the setting even more picturesque. The rooms, while not grandeur or... More
