DK Eyewitness "Two-story, red-tile-roof adobe buildings and bougainvillea-adorned patios evoke images of early California at this gracious resort."

"A hip, fun boutique with quite a bit of character. Cool touches, such as free poolside movie nights; a fun, chill vibe; and free loaner bikes." Full review
On the Grid "This boutique hotel offers a fun restaurant/bar experience to locals and tourists alike." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The petite 23-room property feels like Palm Springs style with a low-key, tucked-away vibe...it's not just about the size, decor, and amenities—you can sense the boutique vibe in the thoughtful staff." Full review
Frommer's "Built on the bones of a 1959 motel, this boutique hotel draws budget travelers who dig its groovy, mid-century modern vibe" Full review
Lonely Planet "The 23 rooms wrap around a peanut-sized swimming pool where guests and locals mingle during 'dive-in movies' on Wednesday nights." Full review
Independent "This sweet mid-century motel in San Diego is a vintage dream – all cut-stone walls, mirrored ceilings and exterior desert-scaping that feel lifted right out of 1965 Palm Springs"
