The staff was amazing. They made my wife and I feel so special on our honeymoon. They ordered us a bottle of champagne, it wasn’t something they carried at their lobby market place either. Valet was so accommodating and polite. The room was so clean with a great view of the ocean. They conveniently kept great communication through text (my preferred method. Provided great recommendations of things to do for us. The outdoor patio area had fire pits for us to relax at too. I could go on and on. If you are looking for a great experience I highly recommend The Milo.

Room was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the s’mores and hot chocolate. Only issues were the tv wasn’t working properly and no real premium channels. Water pressure in the shower was quite low. And, tree trimmers started in on their work at 8am. And fireplace wasn’t operable. Other than that, room was as hoped for, view was perfect. Have been staying at this location for over 25 years Looking forward to coming back.

Absolutely wonderful everything, except the valet parking attendant being pushy. I know thats what hes there for. But i want my keys and i want full access to my van when we have been road tripping accross the West. Let me park the car and keep my keys. I would pay extra for that freedom.

We look the room facing the ocean and it was really really good. It was kept clean every day and the stay was really pleasant. The only thing for people to note is that the ocean view rooms face the streets so a lot of noise can come if you want some quiet time in the night.
