My mom, sister, and I stayed at the Blue Topaz for a weekend getaway. It was everything we were looking for! Close to the beach, restaurants, and shops. We were able to find free parking on Eads Street and walked everywhere we went! Laundry facilities, shower water pressure, and WiFi were great. It was a little loud in the mornings from the street cleaners and garage pickup so don’t plan on sleeping in. The bakery across the street is so cute and serve yummy treats. Overall it was a great experience and we’ll be back!
