Dog friendly!
We had a great stay at this hotel! We were happy to see that they allow dogs, which was the main reason we chose to stay here. The proximity to the bay is also a bonus! We walked a few blocks to a local brewery, which was also very dog friendly. Overall a great time, and we’d stay here again.

Very enjoyable stay.
Enjoyed four nights at La Serena in October. I could hear the barking from the Bay which was wonderful. Comfort was fine, breakfasts were fine, it was quiet and all went well. The only thing that gives me pause is that you have to ask to have your room serviced, and maybe this is prevalent now but I'm not used to it. In any event, I asked, it was done, and I was satisfied and would return.
