Friendly staff, clean rooms and free breakfast. Oh...and the pool is heated to about 85 degrees and the enormous hot tub is heated hot like it should be. Best hotel stay I've had in years!

The pool and hot tub are AMAZING!!! Great place for kids cause it's only 4 1/2 feet deep. They have a picnic area where you can BBQ too. Must bring your own grill tho. All in all a clean, quiet, quaint place to stay!

Quiet, decent room. Beds were doubles, which is smaller than we're used to, but for the price it was worth it. Breakfast was lovely (including the staff!) and the temperature of the pool was perfect.

It was definitely one of the best places to rest on my road trip to San Francisco via CA-1. The staff was very nice and helpful, rooms clean and modern. Free parking is included. Good location.

Been coming to this hotel every year for the past 8 years. We love staying here the rooms get the job done and the location is nice. I especially love getting a room in the back and looking out at the lit up mountains at night. My kids and everyone else including others I have talked to who stay here LOVE the hot tub with the WATERFALL. Unfortunately the waterfall is shutdown as of right now but id highly urge the owner/manager to get that situation figured out because that is one of if not the main attraction to this place. We will keep coming back though even if there is no waterfall hot tub haha

This is a nice hotel with clean rooms cable TV and decent rates. It is located only a block from the beach and a block from the gift shops, restaurants and night life. I would recommend making a reservation in advance. I have stayed here a few times and will be back again in the future. To the management: No need for thanks. The pleasure was all mine. See you again in 4 weeks.
