We were really looking forward to this part of our US vacation - 3 nights at the Hotel California - in fact we built our entire US trip around the nights they had available. We were absolutely delighted with our stay. The staff are so helpful and friendly, but never in your face. The facilities are wonderful. Our bed was... More

My girlfriend and I went for a two night getaway Sunday-Tuesday and couldn't be more pleased with the service and Staff. Casey welcomed us at check-in with a beer and glass of chardonnay. He was super nice and gave us the tour of Hotel California. The room was great (rm #12) and overlooked the pool. It was one of the... More

The rooms are arranged in a courtyard setting around the main pool area.... More

My wife and I loved staying at Hotel Cali. All of the great reviews of this hotel are spot on. We were doubtful that anyplace could live-up to such great reviews but this hotel did exactly that. Small, beautiful, relaxed attitude, friendly but not intrusive, great pool & spa, close to downtown and the Indian Canyons. We were reluctant to... More

My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary here and had a wonderful time. The room was beautiful and was spotless. We used the pool daily and socialized with quite a few people. The whole staff was very personable and helpful. We plan on coming back here for our next visit.
