Great location but impressively bad atmosphere

Gorgeous location but pretty ramshackle accommodations. We had ground floor room. People above us were incredibly loud until 1am. Building is mid-century, and appears to have had no renovations ever. Also, someone was blaring music outside our room at 8am and smoking cigarettes so we couldn’t enjoy the sound of the waves. Walked into restaurant to book reservation and before we could open our mouths, elderly waitress/manager (?) yelled from back room, “No walk-ins!” Guess she didn’t think we looked like guests. Breakfast buffet was dismal!!! Jar of peanut butter and wilted fruit with grocery store pastries and overcooked hard boiled eggs. Rotting vases of stinky flower water with dead roses on table. Spiders in our room. Torn, pilling bedsheets. Very uncomfortable bed. No air conditioning. But, again, location is beautiful and the pool looked awesome. Still, kinda creepy vibe.

Challenging Sleep

Even though the view out the front is fabulous, it doesn't compare to the noise that bombards you from highway 101 thirty yards from the back of the hotel. With four adults and two rooms, some have to tolerate the road noise and lights making it hard to sleep. The building is also, literally leaning toward the ocean and is extremely out dated.

Absolutely loved our stay. Stay as many days as possible. We stayed two nights and wished for more. Lounged by the pool literally all day, took our own drinks and cooler and snacks. The views are breathtaking. Slept like a baby with the windows open listening to the waves crashing. All rooms have a view of the ocean. Beach is not accessible but you have the pool. Watched dolphins and sea lions. Seagulls were a hoot, don’t leave your plate unattended LOL, they will steal your food. Breakfast is continental, only protein are boiled eggs. Lunch menu is typical American and fair price. Dinner is a little pricey. Brunch Sat and Sun. Monday restaurant is closed. Rooms do not have a/c but you don’t need it. Rooms have fridge and TV. Really enjoyed our stay!
