The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful and accommodating. The location is great. It has the ocean view and is only a few minutes to the beach. It is also a very short drive to the famous Hearst Castle.

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.
