Quick getaway and lovely “home like” feel.
We have stayed here before, so I already kind of knew what to expect. You don’t get all the bills and whistles that you would with a large chain company But it’s a nice clean home like feeling. No early check-in options so make sure that you’re aware of the time. Most rooms have a fireplace and a balcony and a pretty nice view. Would definitely stay here again.

Motel with superior breakfast.
Glorified motel with a superior breakfast.
Overpriced for caliber of room.
Paid upper tier, given lower tier.

We were disappointed.
This business is in a nice location. The room was large and the bed was comfortable, but we were disappointed to find long blonde hairs from a previous guest in both the shower and under the pillows. There was an ice machine nearby, but we were only supplied with plastic and paper cups for a hot or cold drink. We headed to the local thrift (charity)store and purchased some glassware which we donated back when we were leaving. There was a heated pool and spa which even had access for people with disabilities but my partner didn't pack swimwear. We felt the accommodation was not up to the standard for the price we paid.

This place sucks
They said we could call and see if we can check-in early, then they said to show up at 230p. No one was at the check in desk for 40 min. We decided to leave and check in late.

Not as advertised
The only redeeming quality was the location and proximity to the beach. There must be a big difference between the cottages and rundown lodge, because some of the positive reviews and photos on the site are not what we experienced. The room was on the “first” floor which really felt like it it was underground because of having to go down a set of stairs to access the room. It was dark and in desperate need of some TLC. Walls were scuffed and dirty, and there were some dead bugs on the walls. The fitted sheets didn’t stay on the mattresses and other bedding was just okay. The room backed up to a cemetery. And the breakfast they advertise was a paper bag with cheap muffins, a granola bar, a piece of fruit and bottle of juice. Honestly, we felt duped from what is represented on the site. Maybe the cottages are nicer but overall would not recommend and would not stay here again.

Not what it was
The inn is in an excellent location; however, the room was not to past standards. The bathroom was dark, the shower was chipped, the overall room feel was dark and slightly unkept.

Room needed TLX
Nice room and location but the room needs some work. Walls need painting, funky caulking repair on the shower curb. It needs some maintenance.

Cemetery hotel

Lovely 25th Anniversary trip
We thought the place was nice. We stayed on the cottage side and had a king bed and the room had all we needed. TV worked, water got hot, fairly quiet weekend, convenient to Golf course and nice short walk to Asilomar State Beach. Had really nice fire pits and seating. The hot breakfast included in our room price was decent. We love that we could bring our 60lb. Pit mix and they are pet friendly. Short drive to Carmel and Monterey. We would stay again for sure.

Gross small rooms, dishonest practices
This place was awful. Maybe the bigger cottage rooms are good to stay in but their smaller rooms near the entrance were so bad we left after about two hours. There’s no privacy for those rooms. Extremely dirty with broken parts of the wall. No screens on the windows we had until they removed a screen from a different room they wouldn’t let us move into instead. Disgusting smell in the room, probably due to how dirty it is. The bed had zero support and made the cartoonish noisy spring noise whenever you moved on it.
When we tried to cancel and get our money back, the manager refused to give it to us and he lied to Hotels.com about how long we were in the room as part of his refusal. Thankfully Hotels.com took care of us despite the manager’s inappropriate display of customer service.
Again you might have better luck with cottage rooms. Maybe they’re inhabitable for more than two hours. The staff was very nice despite how unacceptable the room was. It’s just the manager lied to try to save his money. I would not have left a bad and honest review like this if he hadn’t lied.
