It was fine. Definite authentic old California style. Spa staff was lovely, facilities were institutional. The hotel staff were not overly friendly. The restaurant was mid. Everything very middle of the road an average, so I would say it overpriced for what it was.

Excellent place to stay. Everything was great. The only two TINNNNY things I wish were better were the food at their little restaurant and the water pressure in the room shower. Besides that, place and staff are exceptional and I highly recommend staying here!
