It's really a great place, and the rates are terrific for what they offer. My bed was okay, but not the best. I think the most important thing about any hotel besides being cleaned is to have a good bed and good pillows

Great value

Very clean room, friendly service, and not too expensive. The location isn't remarkable, but the hotel has been there since 1917, so I'm sure most everything around it has changed

Property is filthy and has a stench. Cobwebs on the top of the check in counter for starters. A dank smell permeates through the property. The reception staff need a lesson in customer service.

The room toilet water reservoir wouldn’t refill unless I tapped the plunger. The in-room A/C was noisy. The window screen was broken. There was no A/C in the gym nor were there any wipes to use on the equipment. I had my own wipes and it was disgusting how dirty the equipment is. The jacuzzi blows air and not water…it’s noisy and ineffective.

I’ve stayed in hotels that look antiquated but have clearly been remodeled to feel more of a modern comfort with vintage vibes. But this hotel? This was the real deal. It felt like nothing had changed since it was built, in both charm and function. Definitely a unique experience—kind of like stepping into a time capsule.

Overnight stop!

Incredible room, especially considering the amazing price.! 2 king beds and a separate living room with couch and two easy chairs. Living room and bedroom both had flat screen tvs. Only 30 minutes to Solvang and Pismo Beach where rooms were quite a bit more! Easy luggage cart access and the grounds and hotel itself were very nice and impressive.
