Having never stayed in the area or at this property before, I was hesitant to book a room but gave it a chance. Everything was great from check-in to check out. Clean and well-appointed room that seemed newly refurbished. Nice touches all around… like binoculars for the amazing view of Morro Rock from our balcony, gas fireplace, wine glasses, coffee maker and mugs, mini-fridge, and more. Convenient to all the shopping and restaurants. Would absolutely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay for just one night. This small, quaint hotel is awesome! Our suite, the Marine Suite, was located right beside the water with a lovely deck outside. We enjoyed waking up to a mother otter feeding her baby by the deck. The inside of the suite was spacious and homey. Loved the electric fireplace -- it was quite cozy for the cool evening. Appreciated that this hotel actually gave us a couple of large bottles of water - we stayed at many very upscale resorts during this vacation, and most did not give us anything at all - water at one hotel was $24/bottle. My only small complaint is that the bathroom mirror is not lit well for fixing hair, but we found this to be an issue at all but one resort on this vacation. Seems to be a trend to put adequate lighting around the mirror but not enough back lighting to be able to see in the mirror well. The beds and pillows were comfy, and we both have bad backs, so that is saying something! Loved the beautiful views from our room. Also liked that there are nearby shops and restaurants -- within walking distance had it not been too cold out that night. Wish we could have spend more time at this hotel.

The room was beautiful! Nice gas fireplace at foot of bed for ambiance. ?ovely bar area with fridge, microwave, sink and Keurig machine. The views were terrfic from the small balcony. The bed was amazing - I slept for 9.5 hours with no aches or pains. I never sleep that long! They recently added a wine and beer room downstairs and have a great selection for your enjoyment. We listened to the elephant seals in the bay and watched them swimming around our dock. The surrounding area has a fantastic selection of eateries. The Mexican place directly across the street was a nice dinner. There are numerous wineries along the street and Imthoroughly enjoyed Absolution. Fantastic wines!
