The beds were older, and the little fridge was old and made a terrible high pitch noise. We were not in the main hotel location and we were in the other building detached

I loved the location as we were just passing thru

Stayed in July 2025

The fridge in the room was very noisy.

This was a last minute booking and it was comfortable bed was comfy and room was good.

Needs a good deal of TLC and critical eye toward deferred maintenance. (E.g., frayed cushions, last guest's personal item left under the dresser-photo below). It is a lovely place past its prime that could be brought back to a "10."

Great location. Family affordability. Quiet.

Hotel is dated and really needs a renovation.

Breakfast, view. Perfect location (for our case). Great value for the money.

After first night I had called office that we wanted housekeeping. When he came back late afternoon it hadn't been cleaned. I called again to at least get fresh towels. Housekeeping arrived with towels and apologized. Said they never got word that we had requested service. They dumped my garbage can while there which was nice.

Downstairs room was good and we still had a semi view of ocean.

The hotel room was clean and spacious. Continental breakfast had several options (banana, apple, sandwich bread, peanut butter and jelly, bagels, cream cheese, hard boiled eggs, yogurt cup, waffles, syrup, 3 cereal choices, milk, juice and tea, and coffee, cocoa, and hot tea.). You can walk down to the beach through a little access point close by (definitely an off-road experience - be careful). A coastal hiking trail heads south along the coast about 1/4 mile down the road adjacent to the hotel. Excellent location to access (via car) other area coastal hiking trails, public beaches, elephant seals, and Piedras Blanca’s lighthouse!

No pet area. Cactus in dirt area. Only concrete. Need even a small area for dogs to potty. Doesn't have to be grass, but no plants or Cactus.

Good location. Pet friendly.

Room was dusty on furniture, windows, office furniture in room for sitting, no living room chairs. Room was large with two double beds

Location to Hearst Castle

Stayed in June 2025

Nothing around the hotel, stores closed very early. Nothing to do if you are not going to the Hearst Castle

Stayed in May 2025

Beds need to upgraded, to a more comfortable mattress. For a better night sleep 😴

Proximity beach, quiet atmosphere

The distance from pool to our room.

Great!

Stayed in April 2025

The rooms are big and clean. Good shower. The staff were really helpful - upgraded our rooms and also went to buy soy milk just for us in the morning.

Stayed in April 2025

Nothing much.

Very well located for Hearst Castle and Big Sur visits. One block from the beach. Comfortable beds and very clean.

Stayed in March 2025

No elevator for luggage…. But not a big deal.

Loved the fireplace in the room. Bed was comfortable, had a tub for the kiddo. Would def stay here again if given the opportunity!

Breakfast sparse offerings.

Very comfortable and relaxing. Plan to return regularly.

For me, personally, the bed was too soft, that is a me problem tho

Location, the staff, free breakfast

Stayed in February 2025

What I didn’t like was there was no boiled egg and orange juice and there was no coffee in the lobby outside of breakfast.

There were cereal, enough bagels and waffles and bananas and some juice.

Stayed in February 2025

Very comfortable

Stayed in February 2025

The bed could have been more comfortable but was ok. Breakfast was mostly carbs and sugar - would have been much happier with healthier options.

I stayed in the large king room which had a fireplace and a comfortable couch next to a big window with a great view - really enjoyed these amenities.The room was spacious and clean. The ocean view rooms were on the other side - I saw in one and it looked really nice. It’s possible to walk down to an impressive pebble beach beneath small cliffs a short distance behind the hotel.

Stayed in January 2025

I arrived a little early, and I was given a room to my specifications (fireplace and ocean view) early. I was having an issue with the TV in my room and the desk person fixed the problem quickly. All the staff members I had contacted with were friendly.

Stayed in January 2025

It’s a good location and clean.

Stayed in December 2024

We used the pool and went for a run, but a small exercise area/gym would be a great addition.

Breakfast was great and location perfect for a short getaway.
