This property is a little bit older and maybe be slightly dated, but it makes up for all of that an amazing staff and charm. I let them know that we were staying on our honeymoon and they went above and beyond to make it a special stay for us. We were on a second floor and when I asked if they had an elevator, they told me they didn’t, but offered personally to help us get any bags up that we had difficulty with. The staff was absolutely wonderful and made some great recommendations for some places to visit that we would’ve missed without them. We had a room that I could see the ocean from and I sat every morning and watched the ocean and every night and watch the sunset over it. Amazing stay!

Stayed 2 nights with family. We booked the standard 2 queen beds. The bedroom and bathroom are clean. The toilet is small and quite low, felt a little weird when I first sat on it. No window blinds, just clothed curtains with visible stains. Breakfast is okay, there’re 2 waffles makers and the waiting line can be long during weekend. The pool is much smaller than in picture. Overall, it’s okay, not our cup of tea.

Room was good, basic necessities were sufficient. Only issue was noise. The room had an amazing view but is close to the parking lot. Some people were partying until 330am and my wife and I did not fall asleep until 4am. Very disappointing.

This is a very average hotel, nothing special, somewhat similar quality to a Motel 6 but with the addition of a fireplace. The continental breakfast was good and very helpful which boosts the quality of this hotel. You can stay at far better hotels in the Central Coast area for the same or lower price.

The room was nice, clean and comfortable. I also loved how close my room was to the front desk. We enjoyed breakfast, and enjoyed the options. There was also a ton of sitting space to eat, so we appreciated that as well. The bathroom was nice, and the beds were comfortable. I liked that there was a fan provided since I need noise to sleep, and having some circulation was helpful. The staff wasn’t super friendly, but maybe they were having a bad day.
