“Private, comfortable and cool”

The Mod Resort

5 of 5 stars
san francisco
Apr 26, 2008

We are not usually fans of trendy boutique hotels which tend to emphasize style over substance, but after reading all of the positive Mod reviews, we decided to give it a try. Specifically, we were looking for a place where we could book two rooms (so our 15 year old could have her own) that wouldn't break the bank, a good location, quiet, and immaculate. The Mod was all this and more. Laura (the owner) clearly shows her design talents - the resort is done in a sleek, white and silver retro-style decor. At the same time, guest comfort, cleanliness and nice little touches are evident throughout. We slept wonderfully, lounged by the pool, and enjoyed the five-minute walk to upscale El Paseo to get a morning latte, go shopping, or enjoy a cafe for lunch. The Mod is like your own private compound (a high wall surrounds the property, with a private entrance); you are away from it all and at the same time close to whatever you might want. P.S. If you are looking for a unique setting for a wedding or private party, this is the place.

“Crisp and Clean”

The Mod Resort

5 of 5 stars
Dallas, Texas
Mar 29, 2008

Wonderful environment-rooms are very clean,crisp and comfortable. Beds are wonderful. Wood floors are very nice-hard to find in that area-most everyone has carpeting. Great location for shopping and meals. Laura the owner is very personable and helpful. Outdoor space is very relaxing --- has loungers, ,huge but stylish heating lamps and a covered area to read or have a drink in the shade. Lots of magazines to read are offered in lobby area--nice for when lounging by the pool.

“Loved it...”

The Mod Resort

Mar 24, 2008

The Mod Resort is a relaxing, conveniently located, immaculately clean and pleasant resort. Laura is a great host and we couldn't have asked for more. The bed was super comfortable and we had a small kitchenette. For us, it was perfect.

“highly recommend”

The Mod Resort

Victoria B.C.
Mar 9, 2008

Just came back from a three week holiday in Southern California. Stayed at several hotels and this was one of the best.

Loved the grounds and peacefulness.

We took the small room and it was very small. Laura did warn us. If we were staying longer we would have taken one of the larger rooms.......but ........we were there for the pool and the restaurants. Didn't need a kitchen.

Great place....great location

“Marvelous Mod”

The Mod Resort

Mar 6, 2008

You had to practically pry us away from the Mod. Such a restful, peaceful and quiet escape, although so close to so much. As our flight in was delayed, we arrived at 11pm dinnerless. Laura gave us some edibles to get us through till morning, including a box of Girl Scout Cookies (Thin Mints - my favorite). She is a relaxed and warm host. The room and the poolside lounging were fabulous. Top notch - highly recommended.
