“What stands out about this hotel is the dedication of the hosts, who seem to genuinely care about creating a welcoming atmosphere, even for guests with dogs. While renovations are underway, the promise of an even more polished experience is exciting, especially given its proximity to both Los Altos Park and the seafront. From what I gather, it's the sort of place where you'd feel instantly at home, with personal touches that elevate it beyond the standard.”
