The hotel at the time of our stay was going under renovations. It had been awhile since we last stayed here. Central location to the coast, Hearst castle, and wine country. We enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine that came with the room during our stay.

Overall pleasant stay

Overall experience was pleasant. It was currently in renovations so some areas were still being worked on. Room was clean with no issues. The only drawback was ice machine was missing from the floor which I assume was due to the construction. Would stay again.

I love the historic charm of this hotel. Updates are done tastefully. Rooms are large and comfortable. Some of the furniture could use replacing, but there is a lot of work being done. Everyone we talked to on staff was professional, polite and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
