We loved our stay at The Eden. The decor is great, especially in the rooftop bar. We stayed in the 2 bedroom/2 bathroom and it was perfect for us. Beautiful views of the ocean. It got pretty quiet at night even with windows open. The pool area was really cute and inviting. Nice hot tub and pool. Comfortable beds. Great location with lots of restaurants nearby.

Great hotel. The rooftop bar was closed which wasn’t apparent when I booked but the pool area was super nice. Loved the coffee place- Thank you, Max! Beds were super comfy, loved the salt water pool, pool chairs, towels, wood deck, and efficient toilets. Minimalistic rooms with great public spaces in cool old building in a great location. Greek restaurants down the street rocked. Valet parking was great and easy!

It has a great outdoor space, pool and bar area. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The area outside the hotel is noisy from the road and passing people. Also homeless is an issue here who are along the road outside the hotel which can be a bit unsettling at times. The hotel does not have a restaurant just a small selection of options in the morning. I would stay again

Loved my stay

Very friendly staff. Incredible location. The pillows were super comfy. We stayed in one of the suites with the king bed. The sofa bed was not super comfy. AC worked great. The room itself was spacious. We did the parking on-site which was $55/day but worth it since parking in that area is difficult to find and our car was safe. I would definitely stay here again.

Bathroom had a toilet cleaning wand which was gross and unusual to see in a room. Mini fridge felt like a dorm room add on. Pool service was absent even though it was supposed to be open. Didn’t feel as upscale as advertised. But staff was incredibly friendly and provided good service.

Pre wedding scouting trip

The hotel just reopened in June, they are still working out the kinks. The coded door looks are glitching and this is a little time consuming. Every time I went in my room I had to put the code in at least three times. The code was the same for the pool access, but it worked fine. Towels were an issue at the pool. They didn’t have as many as they needed, and some needed a good bleaching. These are small things, and didn’t impact our trip. We would definitely stay here again!

Late night check in was a huge help after a delayed arrival. The Eden staff knew of my plans and someone was waiting at the front desk when I arrived around 2 a.m. Not sure if that’s typical, but it made check in effortless after a long travel day. The team was accommodating when I needed to adjust my reservation ahead of time, which I really appreciated. The rooms were private, quiet, and clean. The older boutique charm is a nice change from your typical name brand hotel. One thing to note is that some rooms don’t have standard showers but instead feature large jacuzzi tubs with built in showers. If traveling with someone elderly or needing easier access, it may be worth noting this with the hotel prior to your stay. The pool area was clean and calm, not heavily used during my stay. It was great for both relaxing by the water or getting work done. There was plenty of seating in both sun and shade, with options that offered a bit of privacy. Hotel is located directly across the street from the beach and walking distance to major shops, restaurants, and bars. The attached coffee shop was convenient for someone unfamiliar with the area seeking a local option that's not Starbucks. The space had open seating for guests to use along with a collection of games and books. Staff was friendly and helpful in providing suggestions for dinner and drinks.
