You can tell this property has history however it is so well kept. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite and there was plenty of room for our party of 6. The staff is outstanding and the bike trail to the beach is just around the corner, we loved our stay!

Absolutely loved our stay here. The hotel grounds were beautiful, the room was great and location near everything. Their sister property was also amazing and let us rent bikes. Mickey at Bris Del Mar was extremely nice and helpful and gave us some recommendations on where to go, what to do and what to eat. Everything he recommended was great. Would definitely come again!
