Upgrade would make this a great hotel

The people were really kind and the food at the restaurant was really good. However, the hotel is older and did not feel very clean. Although it may have been clean it felt dirty. Hopefully, they do an upgrade to this location because the staff is awesome there.

This property is older and if you are looking for shiny, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a quiet place by the beach that is comfortable and relaxing, this will work well. The exterior is well maintained and parking is plenteous. The interior is acceptable and other that a few stains in upholstery and carpet, things are clean. If passing that way again, I might return.

It is a good place to stay. The Lodge needs to upgrade the furniture and carpets in the rooms. Other than that, everything is clean and in working order. The staff are pleasant and nice.

Great stay.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom sink and tub were a little worn out, but everything worked fine. Had a great ocean view. Great location. Close to numerous beaches, shopping, restaurants, and Hearst Castle.

Great location. Comfy beds. A bit noisy/thin walls and ceiling with loud upstairs neighbors walking around, but the market and liquor store and bar onsite was convenient.
