Trailborn Surf & Sound

“5 star experience”

This hotel was smartly appointed. Not cluttered or overy decorated. Very open and clean. Staff was friendly. The restaurant staff and food were excelent. Bar staff were fun and efficient. Room was spotless and comfortable. Honestly can't think of a negative.

“Overall ok”

Beach lovely and short walk from hotel is good coffee

“A great place to be stranded in a snowstorm”

A renovation of the old Blockade Runner hotel, where each room has a view of either the sound or the ocean. The first night was my sound view, in a nicely outfitted room with a very comfortable le bed but a non-functioning thermostat and a fan that ran all night trying to work. The next day when I asked for a new room, Robert, the manager on duty, kindly gave me an ocean view room, which was also slightly more spacious. I was only supposed to stay two nights, but was unable to fly out due to the 1/31 snowstorm. So I got to know the friendly and dedicated skeleton hotel crew well during what turned out to be a five-night stay (they also held to my original rate for the whole stay). The restaurant and bar staff are gems—bartender Wyatt and servers Laura and Nicole are thoughtful, kind, good-humored folks who ended up feeling like family. Kudos also to the front desk staff, especially Helen, Robert, and Noah, who were understanding and accommodating as I navigated the unexpected delay. The hotel itself has its pros and cons. The main lobby and fitness room were both really cold, and it seems clear that the renovation didn’t overhaul what’s likely an old and outdated HVAC system. The restaurant, La Duna Paradiso, served lovely food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even on the day that saw very thin staffing, they made sure we had something to eat, often outstanding—even the sandwiches. The views are gorgeous, and I could see this being a great place to stay in better weather—they really need to fix the HVAC to make it comfortable in winter. I was in the area on what I thought would be a quick business trip, so a beach hotel was fine, and the WiFi was great. But if you’re looking for a room with a desk and a task light, you won’t find it. I managed just fine sitting at the table in my room; there was good lighting and a surfeit of outlets and USB ports. The bathroom is another place where the renovation saved money with single-sink vanities in double rooms, and shower and toilet divided by a glass partition above a tile pony wall (I mention this only because some couples want more privacy from one another in the bathroom). Shower was great; towels abundant, and the tile entryway in each room makes perfect sense for people coming back in from beach days. It was a lovely place to be stranded, and the people made all the difference.
