Okay, but not great.

Booked a two-night stay for our 5-year anniversary in one of the Estate Garden View Rooms. The room was disappointing; it was on the main floor (3rd floor) of their main building which meant it was LOUD. We could hear everything happening in the hallway at all hours of the day. And rather than looking out onto their beautiful garden courtyard, it had a view of the housing complex behind the hotel out the backside of the property. Not exactly the serene, quiet, anniversary weekend I was hoping for when I booked our room. The hotel itself is beautiful and well maintained, and the room was nicely appointed. The staff was gracious and kind. Food was just okay in the lobby bar and breakfast restaurant. We booked a couples massage a month in advance that was supposed to include the soaking tub, but didn't. We live in San Diego, so this was a stay-cation for us. I would opt to stay at one of the many other luxury resorts in town next time.

Beautiful grounds with some cons.

This is a very cute boutique hotel and the grounds were beautiful. The rooms were nicely designed and up to date. I didn’t feel that our room and bathroom were very clean. When we checked-in to the room there was urine on the toilet seat. The pillows were awful, very thin and dense. The door to the bathroom was a barn door style with no lock that kept sliding back open after you close it. The pool restaurant and bar was not open during our stay without given any notice or explanation.

Beautiful grounds! Staff very friendly and helpful! Breakfast was disappointing as it was mediocre food and mediocre service, which is why we rated it “good” instead of “excellent.” Spa services expensive but worth it—spa staff went above and beyond to make our experience (couples romantic massage) enjoyable and luxurious. Our room was at the end of hallway which made it loud with the door opening and closing at all hours.
