Lisa

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was not courteous or informed. I asked if I could change from one to two beds in my room and was told that they didn’t have other rooms available, but the entire place only had four cars in the parking lot that night. I also tried to exercise my AAA rate and she told me that she wouldn't honor it.Walls were paper, thin and it sounded like the people in the room next-door were right in our room. Really didn’t want to hear what was going on in there!There were also ants in our room. It’s too bad because it’s a great location, but I would not go back there again.

Disliked: Room comfort
Thin walls, we could hear our neighbor snoring all night. We could also hear occasional noise traffic from the highway. The ‘fireplace’ was just a wall decoration, not for heat. Room was clean but room was too warm, at least for my husband.

Great Little Place, No problems there with the place. Perfect during the “fogless” time of year. Also the, ‘Press Coffee Shop’, is just steps away; having incredible pastries EARLY in the morning & breakfast all day long. Not to mention you are right across from Mavericks Surf Shop & ‘Half Moon Bay Brewing Co, Mezza Luna, and others. Great little spot, and happy charming staff.
