Victorian Inn

Victorian Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Such a wonderful place to stay on our road trip from San Francisco to San Diego! Missed the wine and cheese party by 5 minutes, but the gracious front desk agent and happy hour host gave us a complimentary glass of wine 🙂 after our 6-7 hour drive. The "continental breakfast" was far better than most "breakfast buffets"! There were made to order waffles, premade omelets, sausage links, oatmeal, cereals, fruits, coffee, juices, bagels, breads, muffins, and more- delicious! The rooms were spacious with multiple outles, coffee station, fridge, safe, renovated bathroom, cozy seating area, unexpected balcony, and UNEXPECTED fireplace with a timer. Just too many more things to list. Great, helpful, friendly staff. Good location. Definitely recommend this place!"
