Cardiff By The Sea Lodge

Very good

Liked: Renovation was good.
Disliked: Better toilet paper.Cups in bathroom. Handicap access to roof garden.

Passable

While the location was fantastic,...

Liked: The location was excellent, the facilities were clean, and the staff provided exceptional service.
Disliked: I reserved a room featuring an ocean view; however, I was assigned a room that primarily overlooked an unattractive building rooftop, with only a partial view of the ocean. Given the price I paid for this accommodation, I found it to be unsatisfactory. I was unable to access the rooftop for the majority of my stay due to a private party occupying the space, which was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel.

The hotel is lovely and...

Liked: It was newly refinished and very tastefully done! The rooftop deck was amazing with stunning views! Everyone was very nice!

Decent but probably wouldn't book...

Liked: Location is good. Next to a bar, but it wasn't too loud. The rooftop decks were nice.
Disliked: I check online a couple of days before I traveled and found that if I cancelled and rebooked, I could save over $270 dollars because the prices had gone down. Also, as I was checking in, I heard another couple securing the same type of room for almost $100 less than what I had paid. I understand dynamic pricing, but I would recommend checking and re-checking the price you are paying. Also, the room had no glasses or cups. Upon inquiry at the lobby, I was told that they only had disposable glasses. This is not eco-friendly and I did not enjoy drinking out of plastic. They can do better since they are positioning themselves as an upscale stay.

Exceptional

Liked: Ending the day on the roof top terrace with a drink was the best part of our day!!
Disliked: Nothing!

Exceptional

Would never return

Liked: No breakfast just a muffin and coffee
Disliked: The price too high and then had to pay for parking
