Very comfortable, clean room. Ocean views and sounds of waves were so lovely. Loved the oversized tub! Staff was probably the friendliest I’ve ever encountered. Also connecting to the hiking trail right from the hotel was a big bonus. I always expect continental breakfast to be gross, too sweet and processed but theirs was excellent and fresh! We even had a lot of fun playing a borrowed board game

Nice stay!

Cute spot! Room was lovely and very clean! My only complaint was the bed was hard and the pillows were very old and flat! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful! The ocean view was nice! You could be in bed and stare at the ocean still. I loved that

We absolutely enjoyed the ocean view from our top floor room. It was the perfect spot to watch the sunset! We rated it 4 stars because the room is a bit outdated. The carpet, fixtures, and amenities could stand to be updated. Overall, we were thrilled with staying here as a stop along our Highway 1 road trip!

The folks running the place are the nicest people you'll ever meet. The ocean views and balcony were wonderful. There are fireplaces and Jacuzzis in the room. It was super peaceful. You are definitely in a small beach town, so you may be a bit limited as far as food and beverage options, but they make it work. There are restaurants and a coffee/smoothie place right down the hill.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Pros: Front desk lady was great. The location was very good. The courtyard was nice. Cons: It's a very old property. It shows tons of wear and tear. My bathroom, shower, and jetted tub were all a little dirty or had bugs/spiders. There is no AC and no ceiling fan. Breakfast is limited and doesn't start until 8am. I left before that. There are no blackout curtains. You hear people using the steps on both levels, you hear people closing doors, and you will hear people walking above you. It's a very noisy place if you are on lower level. I thought it was a very unique place but way overpriced. I did not get a comfortable night's sleep.

Nice, quiet location, in a harbor on the ocean. Hotel has a vintage vibe, with all the modern amenities. Owner/Operator adds a personal touch and has a flair for taking everything about the property to the next level. Just walk around and notice all the subtle details. Excellent!

Beautiful location , old world charm. Great welcome to hotel to enjoy a 2 night stay. Beautiful appointed room ,however should be noted that the bathrooms are a bit dated . This didn’t change our minds however I think it should be noted . Also as food offerings are limited in this quaint village best to maybe stock up on snacks drinks & also your gas . It’s a beautiful place on the Pacific Northwest. At the bottom of hill is pier place great for drinks dinner .
