I liked the surrounding areas being close to seveal beaches and park. Location is conveniently located. I didn't like the fact that there was no elevator which made it difficult to carry our luggage up and down. The room smelled musty when we came in and the waste baskets were too small and got easily over filled. The refrigerator was hard to access being under the sink. It should have been placed in the main area where the bed and console where. It was beside the bathroom and hard to access. It also really did not get cold enough. There should have been an ice maker in the 2nd floor. On the positive side, staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming.

This was the most overpriced and neglected property I have ever stayed at especially for the price. I don’t mean to be negative, but never again.

The breakfast was great. Never received room service in our room, even though we requested for the room to be cleaned. We reserved two bedrooms with ocean view however, one of the bedrooms window was not clean, could not see the ocean clearly because of the unclean window.

Think twice before staying here

This hotel has great ratings, which I don't understand. It is mediocre at best. Upon entering the "Ocean view" room, you couldn't actually see the ocean because the windows were filthy! There were gouges in the walls that should have been filled and touched up and the bathroom door was splintering. The beds were clean and comfortable enough but the air/heating system didn't work. We had used the in room fireplace ealier, which was fine, but there was no way to cool the room for sleep. We all woke up during the middle of the night sweating. Breakfast was very minimal. There was a waffle machine and toaster, yogurt, cold cereal, hard boiledeggs, bananas and mini muffins, barely enough to get you going. I feel that the price point is too high and would not stay again!

The staff were friendly and helpful, the lobby was very nice. The rooms were ok but the whole hotel could use some updates. Some furniture was stained, the blackout curtains were dirty. Many pieces of furniture showed signs of wear. The mattresses were NOT comfortable. The breakfast was average.

Location is very close to Hearst Castle. The furniture in the room needs updating. The sitting chairs were somewhat threadbare. And there needs to mre electrical outlets.
