Top Stearns Wharf Hotel Reviews

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Love how beautiful, clean and family friendly the property is. It was nice to wake up every morning and have continental breakfast and all day coffee plus happy hour provided by the hotel from 4 PM to 7 PM. Highly recommend this hotel for families who have children and are looking to enjoy a week away from home. The hotel is only half a block away from a beautiful park and one block away from the main beach and Pierre. Hope everyone gets a chance to visit this hotel and enjoy all the amenities that it offers. ❤️"
