It was OK but an older hotel. The photos posted on the web site are misleading - for example the workout room is a tiny gray box and does not look over the ocean as shown online.

Husband and I decided on a last minute overnight getaway. This was a delightful place to stay. Wonderful staff, very friendly. We watched the 49er game in the bar restaurant. Food was wonderful, service was great. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from our room. Rooms are a bit dated but still very clean. Pillows were kind of small, but the bed was comfy and clean. Would definitely stay here again.

I was assigned Room 131...the WORST. The overwhelming mildew/musty smell was atrocious. Had to open doors and windows until bedtime for some relief ... making the room cold with no real heating options. Additionally, people going up n down stairs next to room all night was VERY loud. I was told no other rooms were available..."we are very busy"... was going to book 3 nights, sooooo glad I did not. Went to another hotel for 3rd night...much better ending to my visit.
