What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The surf breaks at Westhaven State Park are minutes away, and the marina district sits just up the street.
The rooms
Private rooms come with wall-mounted surfboard racks, gear shelving, and woven hammocks strung up beside the beds.
The sauna
Surfers thaw out on backlit cedar benches inside the sauna, and an outdoor hot tub sits nearby.
At the table
Unravel Coffee serves house-roasted espresso and breakfast burritos, switching to local craft beer and cider in the afternoon.
How it began
Originally The Sands Motel, the derelict mid-century motor lodge was saved from condemnation through a 2016 crowdfunding campaign.

How we rate hotels.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
