Why People Love It

Quick Take: It's a quiet, residential apartment rather than a full-service hotel, so don't expect room service or daily housekeeping, but the views and privacy make up for it.
Reviewed by @foodiesonthemove_: I stayed at this gorgeous boutique hotel and couldn't believe it was under $100 a night. Waking up to the Santa Ana Volcano from my bed was unreal. The lush gardens, relaxing swing chair, and free breakfast made it the perfect peaceful escape. Highly recommend!
