This was a really nice place to stay! Great location, close to the beach and restaurants, and the landscaping and all the flowers were gorgeous! The room was older but really clean and comfortable. I appreciated having access to the hot tub and outdoor fireplace and while I did not partake, the happy hour was a nice touch. The breakfast basket was also appreciated. The reception person seemed indifferent but I felt taken care of nonetheless. All in all, I'd stay here again.

So clean and the room was cozy. We were unsure as there were four of us sharing a room after the BIG SUR marathon and we were very pleased with our space. Fireplace added perfect ambiance. Breakfast in a basket each am was cute! Hot tub and garden area after the race was peaceful and much needed and the wine tasting and light bites after! The staff was super friendly! Would not hesitate to stay here again!

An amazing hotel!

We had a lovely two night stay, Rudy on the front desk was fantastic, helpful, and informative, the room was a little dated but in excellent condition complete with fridge, coffee, microwave and plenty of space. The breakfast they served was really nice and their amenities including their happy hour was great. Would stay again!
