Overall it was a nice stay, but the floors and some of the surfaces in the room were a little bit dusty/not the cleanest. Really nice look to the room though and you get your own patio! Jetted bathtub was nice and the area around the hotel is cool too. The Peruvian restaurant is super good as well.

Quirky
A quirky and unique hotel with some very good features, including location, but not clean enough. While there, a neghboring apartment complex was being roofed. Noise fro 7am to 5pm.

The room was in need of maintenance. Roofers were working the entire 3 days stay outside our 3 rooms. The jacuzzi in the suite above us went on each night at 10:30 or 11 pm when we desperately needed sleep. There was no one to call and ask for help then. In the morning, there was no creamer for coffee- except powdered cream. I called but none arrived for 4 hours. The Peruvian restaurant food was delicious in the restaurant that was in the building. We loved the breakfast. The hotel should have cost a lot less and had better service. Roofers working outside all day warranted a large discount and a warning. Too bad for us!

There are just a few issues that if resolved could make this better. 1. The coffee bar was not stocked all the time. Breakfast was good but it would have been nice to have a cup of juice or mike with the meal. 2. The Microwave was broken. 3. One day we had no hot water. It was fixed not sure why it was a problem. All in all we had a good stay just need some finishing touches.

Would stay there again!
This is a cozy little hideaway that I thoroughly enjoyed staying at. Location is excellent. And the included breakfast comes from an amazing little Peruvian restaurant. I would stay there again.

This place is a little hidden gem! You check in at their sister property, Les Artists Inn, and they show you the way to this property approximately 2 blocks away. It only has 4 rooms total. The vibe is a very Bali/zen type of decor. It is attached to a wonderful Peruvian restaurant where you get your FREE breakfast. Their empanadas are to die for! Don't forget to tip your chef!! He will take care of you! This place is in the heart of del mar within walking distance to all restaurants, shops, and the beach. We will definitely stay here again!!

This hideaway is a gem. This place is beautiful, clean, quaint, and comfortable. There’s a balcony with a view of the ocean. Has a small tub/jacuzzi in the room. A coffee station is just outside the room. Secure parking is very close to the room. You won’t be disappointed.
