The view from our starboard room was incredible — direct, unencumbered views of the Morro Rock were incredible. Lovely staff, great food right below us at the Galley, and it was a lovely overnight stay. Will come back here again 100%.

We had such an amazing time at the Anderson Inn for my husbands 30th birthday! The room was beautiful and the views were even better. They even gave us complimentary champagne and the cutest birthday card when we got in the room. The staff was so kind and friendly. 10/10 recommend! Will definitely be back!
