We arrived quite late as we checked out a few of the hotel chains first before happening across the Inn. The others had... more

Tucked away from the busy-ness of the San Diego area, Cardiff-by the sea was amazing! Everything was wonderful. We were greeted by the friendly, helpful staff, and escorted to our Sweetheart room.
