The room was nice, the bed comfortable, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was so quiet given that it's just off the highway. There are several restaurants close by. It's a perfect place to stay if you're going to Paso Robles to see the light show (Sensorio). I would definitely stay there again.

The location of this hotel is great and super convenient! Walking distance from the beach and also has a pool with great sun shade when it’s too hot outside to be in the sun for too long. The front desk/owner is very sweet and helpful. My husband and I will definitely return here.
