Worst experience I have ever had anywhere. Family vacation started great with air bnb, ended one night with two rooms at this hotel. Staff was horrible, rooms were discussing and animals barking everywhere. My daughter was assaulted outside the front doors, and ignored. Once coming back from the casino to one of our two rooms, a grown man sitting naked after having a bowel movement was sitting in the hallway asking for help. Went to my room and called front desk to hear them giggle. I have never felt so unsafe and disrespected anywhere. On top off that, we were charged for a dog that never stayed with us? And was blamed for a late check out on one of the two rooms. Both family room were booked through me. So upsetting, and we love the ocean and have stayed at least 5 times a year. Do not go here!!!!!!!

Highly recommend! Book it now. Very clean, well maintained, safe, quiet, comfortable, great pool and hot tub. Beds were super comfortable, walk in shower was state of the art and amazing. Balcony overlooking a view of ocean across the 101. We ate in the adjoining restaurant several times when we were too tired to go explore other spots nearby, which was very affordable and convenient. Everyone was polite and helpful. We didnt use the casino because we were out exploring the Redwoods and ocean hikes. I would stay here again for sure. Only one change I would suggest is to alter the restroom near the pool so you can use your room key for it rather than ask front desk for a key. There is a gas station and convenience store with coffee shop adjacent which was also awesome. Later in our trip we stayed somewhere else on a road trip to Portland at a big name chain hotel and it did not measure - the Lucky 7 had spoiled us! :)
