Like a mini resort getaway. There’s not much around here, but the restaurant is incredible and if you’re like me, you’ll probably never leave here other than rides on the bike path or surfing the local break.

Issue on check-out day. Put suitcases in car before breakfast (7:30am). Plan was to have breakfast, then go to beach to explore. After breakfast, had to go to the bathroom, went to room, door open, cleaning lady making one of the beds. Used bathroom, said we hadn't checked out yet (desk had sign check-out 12pm). Daughter had to use bathroom, door wide open again, used bathroom and heard someone, came out woman making second bed! Told front desk, no apology, just said that they probably thought we had checked out. We still had out beach towel and a few things in the room in case we needed to clean up a bit after beach exploring. Continental breakfast, fruit was never replenished. Restaurant food was ok, salad was good. Floor in room had definite slant from mid room to back wall, at least 1.5", saw cracks on walls, could fit quarter in them. Beach rocky, but found lots of beautiful shells! Would not go back.

Buyer beware!

The view from this hotel is beautiful. But that is where anything good ends. The rooms need serious updates. They had no elevator to take your luggage to other floors. The lights in the room didn’t work. The bathrooms were old and unappealing. The smell was very musty. Our stay was for two nights, on the first day before even unpacking. We asked if we could have a refund, as we wanted to move onto a different hotel. They would offer no refund. So we stayed one night, and left the next day. We did not stay the second night, and got no refund.

Our room was on the 3 rd floor ! We had to carry our suitcases up 2 flights of stairs on wet steps. We booked last year because of the restaurant and free breakfast even though we knew the hotel was very dated. The restaurant was good but the breakfast was a disappointment.

First night sucked. This inn is really old and rickety. The bed was awful, the decor is about 40 years dated, our toilet sprayed water every time you flushed, and the shower was awkward. Felt like showering in an old RV. Beautiful ocean view from the room was barely existent because there's no balcony, just a walkway outside of the window. 2nd night we were upgraded to the presidential suite or whatever they call it. It had 2 bedrooms, which was nice but we only needed one. It was a great view through the giant window directly over the ocean, so it was a world of difference. The dinner at the in house restaurant was amazing. However, the breakfast was not. No coffee maker in the room, and what I think was cheap Folgers wasn't available until after 8. As an early riser, I had to drive all the way down the coast almost to Ventura, turn around and find a Starbucks in carpenteria. Round trip took about 40 minutes for a decent cup of joe. The staff was very friendly, but due to the above issues I don't think we'd stay there again.
