Great warm welcoming, very professional, super helpful pointing out points of interest. Also, had a mid-afternoon delicious snack out for us (brownies yum)! Nice touch but most importantly, our room was very clean. We will most definitely come back and stay here again. Thank you so much Pacific Blue Inn for a wonderful stay!
