Kiel • Couple Trip
We came for a week to celebrate our honeymoon and from the attentiveness of the staff to the wonderful amenities we truly had a wonderful experience. I had an issue which when brought up was immediately rectified. The valet service was worth it and we felt/saw the same level of care taken with our Kia as the luxury cars and it was really nice. The best view of the bay and the quick access to the beach were the highlight. I’ve come to the dream inn for 20 years and I have never had a bad experience, there’s a reason they are so loved. We can’t wait to return with our son and make it a family tradition!

This was the perfect destination for a quick getaway just outside the Bay Area. The hotel is in an ideal beachfront location, making it easy to enjoy the ocean all day. Our kids had an absolute blast, and we highly recommend it for families with little ones. The pool was a huge hit, and there were plenty of activities nearby to keep everyone entertained. Having a restaurant right next door was incredibly convenient especially after a full day at the beach with the kids. The hotel was clean, the staff was warm and welcoming, the beach views were stunning, and the private balcony was the perfect place to relax and take it all in. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything about our stay was wonderful! The only thing that was a little disappointing was that the spa was unavailable for a majority of our stay. It was chilly and that was our plan to hang out in the spa. But overall it was an awesome stay and we will definitely be back.

I left the pool area and soaking in the hot tub, which was the perfect temperature. The restaurant there was amazing. The staff was super kind and helpful. I do wish it wasn’t so expensive because it was a big splurge for us.
