Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully updated. I appreciated that our room could accommodate up to four people with a king bed and sleeper sofa. The hallway location was a bit distant but offered extra privacy compared to hotels with thin walls.
The hotel's location is excellent, a little pricey for suites, but offers a nice view and convenient access to the beach. The rooms are dark with only patio doors for natural light, and some delays in room readiness. The service was exceptional, providing great suggestions for exploring the area. There was a lack of dining options, with vending machines not accepting credit cards, but the property offers nice facilities like a pool and kiddy pool.
I had a fantastic week at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful room that was very well furnished and pleasant. However, the noise level from other rooms was quite noticeable due to poor insulation. The service was great, although a bit slow at times. The location was excellent, being close to Avila Beach, in a tranquil area. The dining options were limited, mainly consisting of items in vending machines. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor issues.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room I had was not the best, with a view of walls that was quite disappointing, but at least it was a nice size. The service was friendly overall, although they were a bit pushy about signing up for updates. The location was lovely, offering a fantastic view of the bay and being centrally located between Pismo and Morro Bay. However, the dining options were limited with vending machines that didn't even accept credit cards.
