Fabulous view that you can see from the room and a very convenient location for a stop on a drive up north. Manager was very nice and friendly. Beds comfortable. There is a clearing with chairs that overlooks the ocean and I got a fabulous shot of the sunset.
Cal Trans was doing construction on the road directly in front of the hotel from late evening until about 2AM or so. We were specifically looking for a restful location to unwind after a long work cycle. I feel the manager should have informed us of the road work and given us the option to cancel before our payment went through. She told us about it when we checked in. Too late to make a change. As a result we did not get restful sleep.

Great location, the patio with tables and chairs was enjoyable. Continental breakfast was also good. The housekeeping staff are very good! The laundry and ice machine was great. Bed and pillows were very comfortable.
Our room #113 was nice, but some paint was missing from bathroom walls.

Nice location. Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Loved the view of the ocean.
The room was pretty tiny. The bathroom didn’t have any where to put your toiletries. The walls were pretty thin. Could hear the people next door. Kind of outdated.
