I had a lovely stay at this hotel which is conveniently located near Hearst Castle and offers beautiful ocean views. The rooms were clean and recently updated, making for a comfortable experience. The breakfast was basic but sufficient to start the day. However, the dining area felt a bit cramped, and some maintenance is needed on the steps. Overall, it's great value for money for a quick getaway.
