Sonnenblick-Eichner Co. Arranges $50 Million Loan to Refinance Luxury Boutique Hotel in Pismo Beach, CA

USA, Beverly Hills, California. May 12, 2022

Sonnenblick-Eichner Company has arranged $50 million of long-term fixed-rate first mortgage financing for the Cliffs Hotel & Spa, a 162-room, full-service, luxury boutique hotel located on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Pismo Beach, CA.

The non-recourse loan was funded by an investment bank and priced at 4.8 percent with interest-only payments for the entire term of the loan. Proceeds from the loan provided for a return of equity to the Borrower in order to purchase a partnership interest.

Located along California's central coast, the Cliffs Hotel & Spa features direct beach access, Marisol (a full-service restaurant and bar), a heated outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, Dia Feliz Spa, The Salt + Sundry retail outlet, fully equipped fitness and business centers and on/off-site valet parking for up to 209 cars. The hotel has approximately 27,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor meeting and event space, more than any other hotel in Pismo Beach.

Elliot Eichner, a Principal and Co-Founder of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company, commented, "Consistent with all of our recent financing transactions, this loan was competitively bid among 10 lenders resulting in a sub-200 bps. credit spread."

Patrick Brown, also a Principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company, added: "Due to the oceanfront location and "Drive-to-Leisure" orientation, the property has a long history of stable cash flow, which led to the loan executing at such favorable terms."

Guest Service: Exceeding Expectations


When guests check into a hotel, they have expectations of quality customer service. They expect to have their needs met in a professional manner, they desire a certain level of comfort, and possibly even made to feel a little special. This is important because satisfied guests are more likely to return and to become true brand ambassadors. But what if instead of merely meeting expectations, hotels created a culture of service that was intent on exceeding expectations in every conceivable way? What if frontline staff were trained and empowered to provide guest services that demonstrate a willingness to always go the extra mile in order to please their guests? This culture is exactly what some hotels are creating in their operations. From helpful, smiling, welcoming staff to the quality of  a room's comfort and conveniences. From discovering a guest's special needs and enthusiastically fulfilling them, to making some amenities free of charge and offering random upgrades. The April issue of the Hotel Business Review will explore what some hotels are doing to enhance and enrich their guest services.
