Our day was good the only thing I have to complain about is the hot tub in the room took almost 2 hours to fill it up because the hot water just barely trickled so it literally took 2 to 2 1/2 hours to fill the hot tub up which was absolutely ridiculous

Room has ocean view. Maybe only good thing about it . Room had bad odor . The front and back doors were extremely hard to open. I would not want to be in that room during a hazardous situation. I wanted to tell the office staff this before I left. Office wasn’t open at check out .

The hotel’s dog friendly which is a plus for our road trips. The property is located right on the cliffs of the Pacific and staff was very helpful. The price tag was pretty steep however.

Remote with a view that can’t be matched!

We have stayed here before. It’s an older hotel with expansive views of the wild Lost Coast. The hotel is well maintained with recent upgrades. The staff are super friendly and will help you in any way they can. It’s remote, it’s quiet and it’s beautiful. For me, coming here is like coming home. I love it!
This is the view from any room
