Pacific Edge Hotel

Pacific Edge Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great location. With ocean experiencing hurricanes it was a challenge to get to the beach. Our room had a kitchen, but no microwave. Tough to prepare food. And the refrigerator cooled slowly. Our neighbor had a gate that slammed every time they passed by. Some padding will make it quieter and less jarring. Next time we’ll take advantage of the rooms with balconies."

"Lovely old hotel! We appreciated its history and old architectural details. The staff was warm, friendly and responsive. If you must have modern and all the conveniences, it might not be for you, but if you want an attractive and clean place to stay with lots of atmosphere, you will want to give Casa del Camino a try."

10/10 Excellent
"Came for a weekend getaway with my boyfriend. We were greeting by friendly valet and front desk people. They even offered welcome champagne. We got there early so we had to wait for a room, but it was worth it since we got upgraded to a different room. The views here are worth it. You have access to a pool but we went down to the beach instead. We enjoyed drinks in their lobby area that even had someone playing live music. We dined inside our room for dinner since our view was perfect. Everywhere we went the staff greeted us with smiles and were so nice. Honestly, this was the best hotel stay I've ever had. We're definitely coming back."
