The hotel is great for a one-night stay in a convenient location after a coastal road trip. The rooms are clean and offer a view of a dry field of weeds. The service is courteous and helpful, especially for beachgoers. The location is suitable for travelers along road #1 but may seem a bit rundown and pricey. The dining experience offers a poor selection at a higher price point. Overall, it's a decent choice with some drawbacks.

I couldn't have asked for a better location, with the beautiful beach right nearby and being close to both Hearst Castle and Cambria. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a lovely ocean view, offering a comfortable King Sized bed and all the amenities one would need. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I appreciated the abundance of toiletries and extras in the room. However, the breakfast area was a bit cramped, making it challenging to enjoy the morning meal fully.

The breakfast was the usual continental fare with Danish, muffins, cereal, and coffee. Although they advertised a great breakfast place nearby, the tiny breakfast area made it a bit hard to enjoy.

This hotel was a gem! The rooms were clean, spacious, and the bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, making my stay very nice and comfortable. However, cleanliness could be improved in some areas. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate my needs, even organizing a fan for me, which made a huge difference. The location was superb, walking distance to restaurants and offering a beautiful view of the sea just 300 yards away, providing a quiet and convenient setting. The dining options, although a bit limited, were acceptable for a short stay, offering a basic breakfast selection. Overall, a great value for the price.
