Great stay. Location great for Hearst Castle and central coast . Have stayed here 4 times in last two years and will definitely stay again. Hotel is local family owned and they are helpful and friendly (witnessed them helping jump cars and guests with other issues). Beds and rooms are clean and comfortable. While they don't offer breakfast they did have coffee, apple juice, toast, croissants and fruit the mornings I stayed which was very nice and unexpected. 100% recommend.
