Great view of the shore and ocean, very close to some of the few eateries in town -- two are attached to the same building as the Inn and the other is across the street. Kind and pleasant staff. We would definitely stay here again and for a few nights rather than just the one.

Nice ocean view from my room patio. Room furnishings were a little dated but adequate and what I expected for an Inn like this. Staff handled an issue with an overcharge quickly and refunded my account. I would stay again if in the area.

The view of the Pacific steals the show. The person at the hotel reception was incredibly friendly, polite, and courteous. The pizza restaurant is excellent. It is a difficult drive, as the road is winding and at a high elevation, but once you arrive, you can enjoy the view and the dark-sand beaches.

The room was incredibly clean and immediately gave a comfy home vibe, as if I'd always lived there. The staff were kind and friendly, and the community in Shelter Cove overall were a treat to interact with. The Inn is right on the coast, so your backyard is basically a glorious view of the ocean and local wildlife via birds. The pizza place attached to the inn was pretty good, and though I didn't try the Bistro food, the staff helped me find the person I needed to check out with. It was overall, a 10/10 experience for me.
