Just ok
It was clean and the only real problem was that the shower head didn’t put out enough water to wash off the soap! It is getting older and has seen better days. And we probably got the worst room in the back of the hotel because we got in late. The couch has been there too long too!

Old, kind of odd place. Small flies in bathroom and loud plumbing. But good price, great location, and as a sole female traveler I felt safe. My room was clean and comfortable. Nice to have coffee maker, fridge, and microwave.

Just okay. $1,000 for 3 nights
The pool filter was really loud. Almost drowned out the traffic on highway 1. Maid service was non existent. Never changed the towels. Furniture is out dated and not very comfortable. The only thing this place had going for it was the location. The ocean is right across the street.
We stayed 2 nights. The 1st night we had a patio room facing the ocean. The patio is a little below ground level so you can only see the ocean when standing and people walking by, there were many, would look into the room. It was a very noisy room.
The 2nd night we moved to a second floor ocean view room and it was very nice.
Beautiful view from the balcony. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Loved the onsite wine tasting room.

It was okay. The best part was we were 1 minute walk from the beach and in the room we were able to see and hear the waves from the room window (it wasn’t ocean view), but the cushion to see out that window wasn’t to clean (so I asked my husband to go to the car and grab our blanket from the trunk so I can sit down and read with that beautiful view and sound) and the fireplace wouldn’t turn on.
The property is in need of an update and major repairs. The carpet outside our room was so stained and dirty. We went pleased with housekeeping. They forgot us the first day and the second time didn’t refill the coffee. I was very disappointed.
This charming beach side hotel was a true delight. It is exactly what we were hoping for...quaint exterior, fresh and clean with beautiful landscaping. The front desk staff was very friendly helping us learn a little more about the area. The room was spacious, the bed was quite comfortable and my room even had a fireplace!! I was thrilled with my choice and would definitely go back! You won't be disappointed!
