"Great Customer Service"

Reviewed December 07, 2024 NEW

I had a reservation at the Cardiff by The Sea Lodge. It is close to the ocean and a very nice lodge in excellent condition. Unfortunatley, issues came up for me. Nick (the manager) and the woman who met us when we arrived were both terrific to work with. I can't say enough about them and the customer service that they gave to us. They couldn't have been nicer or more helpful!

This place is the best! Great location, great check-in experience, great staff, awesome designed rooms with the record players, great rooftop for sunset and relaxing, great coffee, shops walking distance, and special breakfast delivery of a hot muffin with fresh juice. Wow!!! I’m so impressed and coming back!

"Cutest Stay Ever"

Reviewed September 25, 2024

I booked a room with an ocean view for my boyfriend and I for his birthday and we loved it! I was a little unsure about how our stay would be based on the mixed reviews I read beforehand but I decided to give it a try. It was incredibly close to the beach and they offered chairs, umbrelllas and towels for you to take to the beach. They also had record players in each room and had a fun selection of records for us to choose from; we ended up borrowing 3. Anthony, the front desk guy, was so attentive and kind throughout our time there. He welcomed us with a couple of glasses of Prosecco and showed us to our room. He also helped us with a late checkout and remembered our names which made it more personal. I could go on about how great this place was. I can’t wait to come back and share it with all my friends.
