Room was fine for the price, I noted no hair dryer though. Microwave and fridge were helpful. Pool and hot tub were very dated and I didn’t risk it. No breakfast provided. Room was a decent size with shampoo and soap provided. Towels were thin and small but as expected for the price. Overall this is a good budget version, outside of pricey Cambria city. Close to the Hearst Castle and Elephant Seal overlook.
