We had a great view of the ocean & the whole back of the property (pool, spas, etc) on the 4th floor! About 25 feet from our room was a rooftop patio overlooking the ocean & surrounding area. We loved the whole back area where the pool and spas, and little fire pit areas are. Great area to sit and eat the complimentary breakfast in the mornings and watch the waves! Breakfast was scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, pancakes, waffles, bagles, fruit, juice, pasteries, and hot drinks. Room was good size, bed was large & comfortable. Coffee with kcups in the morning. Bath/shower combo. (My husband loves baths!) There is a restaurant that shares the parking lot on the property. They were good and delivered to your room, if you wanted.😊

This hotel was one of the greatest surprises of our road trip, we booked it very last minute mainly due to the very interesting price and we got an incredible room/small apartment, with bath robes, separate dining/living and bedroom, super comfy beds in a warm and nice atmosphere where everything was spotlessly clean. It was very well located to explore the incredible surroundings of Lake Tahoe and it suited our family of 4 very well. The café next to the hotel had also incredible nachos that they would also bring to the room! All in all we enjoyed it very much.

Los Angeles

Although we managed to see everything we had planned over three full days, I will remember this city for its unreliable public transport—waiting 30 minutes for the metro (whereas elsewhere it runs every 3–5 minutes) and 40–50 minutes for buses. Don't think a car will save you from the traffic jams, either. The distances between points are incredibly vast.

San Francisco

Truly one of the great global cities. Loads to do, amazing ambience and character, fantastic food, great areas to explore around the city. Easy to get around on foot, or by public transport. Safe at night. MOMA is one of the must do highlights for the building architecture as much as the art.

Anaheim

Disneyland was great but the walk to get there I was hurrassed by the homeless people asking questions and generally it was frightening. I am an older woman of 60 and frankly it scarred me to have to walk even across the street to get there. I will choose a different Disney location next time I go on a Disney Vacation. California clearly has issues with how to take care of its homeless population. I saw human fecies on the ground next to the side walk coming into the Disneyland location and several homeless called out to people walking past. Disney needs security out side its park for three blocks in every direction and to have them start work at 6 AM as well as a crew to clean up human waist around the area for us to not see this terrible issue least an hour before their security opens would be the best way for us to not be effected by this issue.

Palm Springs

Palm Springs is an easygoing desert getaway with a lively, walkable center, a memorable main drag, and plenty of places to eat. It’s especially appealing if you like sunshine, midcentury style, pool time, and lingering over dinner. Downtown centers on Palm Canyon Drive, where cafés, boutiques, galleries, hotels, and restaurants make for good strolling and people-watching. Dining is a highlight, with everything from casual breakfast spots and Mexican favorites to polished California cuisine. The weather is sunny and dry much of the year. Winter and spring are generally the most comfortable for walking and outdoor dining; summer is intensely hot, with daytime highs often reaching the low 100s°F and sometimes higher. If you visit in the heat, plan outdoor activities for early morning or evening, drink plenty of water, and save midday for the pool or air conditioning. Overall, Palm Springs is a great choice for a stylish, low-key break with good food and a strong sense of place.

Great for access to the Sequoia National Park and Bass Lake area. We self catered making use of the fridge provided and the BBQ/smoker outside on the private patio. There are lots of restaurants 5 mins away in Oakhurst. The accommodation is large and nicely furnished. The bed was very comfy, the bathroom had a big bath tub, shower and double sinks. There was even a dressing room. Mark and Cindy were lovely hosts and eager to look after our every need.
