Dinah's Garden Hotel

Dinah's Garden Hotel

8/10 Good
"Such a well maintained property and a bit of an oasis right off El Camino. I had a room overlooking the lagoon and it was quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately someone in a neighboring room got up at 5 and the noise was so terrible my bed was actually shaking. Restaurant staff are very nice and location is great, but the food was very average."
