So clean and the room was cozy. We were unsure as there were four of us sharing a room after the BIG SUR marathon and we were very pleased with our space. Fireplace added perfect ambiance. Breakfast in a basket each am was cute! Hot tub and garden area after the race was peaceful and much needed and the wine tasting and light bites after! The staff was super friendly! Would not hesitate to stay here again!

An amazing hotel!

We had a lovely two night stay, Rudy on the front desk was fantastic, helpful, and informative, the room was a little dated but in excellent condition complete with fridge, coffee, microwave and plenty of space. The breakfast they served was really nice and their amenities including their happy hour was great. Would stay again!

The room and ben linens did not smell fresh, so that was a disappointment. However, the room was cute. They provide robes which was great for going to the hot tub. Bathroom was great and very clean. Every room has outdoor seating and in the morning a breakfast basket appears at your door. They have free wine tasting at 4p. Service was friendly and helpful. The hot tub area is very cute and has a fireplace. It closes a little early, however, (9:45). Probably because quite time starts at 10p. We will be back.
