Property listed as 330 S Cedros Solana Beach CA…..It’s an office building . I called to inform of late check in, but desk clerk said she was leaving at 10 pm. Left instructions how to get key from “cubby" but we could open locked gate. Met a person in parking garage who said she didn’t know of any hotel. We had to call front desk who NEVER answered or returned my call. End result, had to rent another room for the night.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very kind. The property is in a great location, and the rooms are nice enough. My only drawback comment would be if you get a room with the courtyard access it could be noisy just because people move in front of your unit not the quietest place.

Staff was all exceptionally helpful and friendly. Room was clean and very well done. The rooftop area is gorgeous. I loved the fresh juice and muffin delivered to my room every morning. I'd definitely stay there again.
