Not worth the money.
Very uncomfortable!!!! There was old moldy food in the fridge!!!! Dirty dishes in the sink. The blinds did not work they were taped together. Not worth the $560 a night I spent.

We loved our stay! The staff is so helpful and polite. Rooms are spacious and clean, it's like staying in an apartment. I absolutely love the quiet little swimming pool, with a beautiful garden surrounding it. Location can not be beat! This is a gem of a hotel; it is not a newer place or upscale, but if you are looking for a place with a full kitchen, near the beach and a quiet atmosphere- Cal Mar is the perfect spot!

If you love the 70s Hotel California vibe (I do), this is a must stay. Spacious, clean but non-updated lodgings. Helpful housekeeping. Very memorable stay! One shabby screen hung irreparably on the window.

Loved being able to easily walk to the Saturday Farmers. The rate seemed high for an older fewer amenities location. It would be great for a family looking to prepare all their own meals.

My family had a wonderful stay at Cal Mar. We stayed there with two teens. It was neat and quiet and still so close to the beach and downtown. For us, it was really great with the possibility to do some cooking. But please check the bed size as the beds in our suite were a little small for two persons.
