The staff were very friendly and helpful. The outdoor sitting areas are nice. Otherwise it is fine, but definitely not what they portray themselves to be online. You can’t control the temp in your room except by opening/closing the very dirty window over the shower (luckily I’m tall enough to reach it). If you don’t keep that window open, a very weird smell develops. The balcony is covered in spider webs and when I got there the balcony door wasn’t shut all the way/locked which was unsettling. It’s an outdoor entrance/more motel style so you have to carry your luggage upstairs. Found ants in the bathroom after dinner trash had sat for less than 10 hours. Construction was very loud. The gym had 1 bike and 1 treadmill on top of each other and some weights, opted not to use it as I had planned. The WiFi was very spotty. Very thin walls, can hear a ton. Their site implies that they’re in a walkable location which it’s really not, you need a car or uber. Overall would not recommend.

There appeared to be alot of construction work going on and not sure if this resulted in our room not being able to run any water from the shower faucet but spent the night without being able to shower/bathe. Not having running water for a shower/bath is unacceptable. Had to check out next morning and didn't stay long enough to find out what happened so left unbathed

The outside area is well kept. Our kids loved the pool and grass area. The rooms are really old. Our room didn’t have a clean smell at all. There was mold in the bathroom and no shower curtain in the shower. We asked several times to assistance with the shower curtain but never got it resolved.

This is an older hotel, kept in good condition and my balcony room had a partial view of the ocean. The facility’s attempt at “contactless registration” created a little confusion for me, but a staff member came when called and clarified it all.

This property is very dated. The grounds are nice. Our room had a fireplace and the minute we opened the door the smell of smoke was all consuming. I’m not sure what wood they use in the fireplaces, but it had a very odd smell that was overwhelming. The room was clean, and very large. We appreciated that part. We also loved the fact that we could open the sliding glass door to the garden area to circulate some fresh air. I have a feeling that this place was probably top notch when it was built. It served its purpose for our one night in the area.

The pictures made it seem like this was an upscale hotel near the ocean with a nice common area. The room was old - the entire hotel was under construction, and someone was loudly cleaning outside my room at midnight. The walls were thin and the amenities from the pictures don’t match the experience.

Breakfast was wonderful but as a black coffee drinker the coffee was undrinkable. Checkin was a breeze and we asked for an early check-in and was accommodated. Great restaurant with great service right in front. Looked some rooms were being renovated. Hopefully ours will be soon as it is needed. Nice big spacious room. Would return if in the area.

Lovely location and grounds. Nice sauna, pool, hot tub, and fire pit area. Breakfast is standard with eggs, breakfast meat, bagels, waffles, cereal, oatmeal, coffee, juice. Biggest issue is there is no AC, only heat. If you sleep hot and need it cold, this is not for you. We had to open the sliding door and keep it open all night to stay cool enough and it was still a little warm for our comfort.

No air conditioning! I have never stayed at a hotel that didn’t have air conditioning. It was 90 degrees and we were unable to sleep and very uncomfortable. The lower floor rooms that they give to people staying with dogs, do not have windows. They have a sliding glass door, which is unsafe, given the area and proximity to the highway. No security. No dog bags. Very uncomfortable beds and outdated room interiors. I do not recommend this property. Stay away!

The atmosphere is calm and pleasant, with beautiful views and areas with both sun and shade. The staff was very polite and attentive.

The breakfast was excellent — honestly the best part of the stay. Everything was clean, smelled nice, and the overall experience was great. I give it 10/10. ⭐

From check In to check out it was an amazing experience. We were there to visit San Francisco and San Jose, the location was a perfect midway point between the two cities. The room/lodge itself was clean. We found the beds very soft and comfortable. The shower was hot. The pool/hot tub were great especially after walking so much (Alcatraz, lol). The staff was incredible! I don't know if I will be able to write it correctly, to do them justice. Very welcoming, great suggestions for area restaurants/events, professional and authentic. For example, I requested an extra blanket. When housekeeping came up in less than 5 minutes, he had options to make sure I was all set. It was really the small things that seemed to set this hotel apart from others. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Very nice hotel. You can tell that it's an older property, but well maintained, with beautiful landscape and golf course views. My room was clean and spacious, and I loved the patio overlooking the recreational and relaxation space. The only \"complaint\" I have - terrible water pressure in the shower. It was practically a trickle, and I had a hard time regulating the temperature.

Nice location. Friendly, efficient front desk and maintenance staff. Large rooms with Keurig coffee makers appreciated. Carpets and in-room furniture need updating; wood furniture should be replaced or refinished. Biggest complaint is breakfast service. Front desk personnel and signage indicate that breakfast service last until 10. Early morning selections are good and plentiful. However, unless you arrive by 9, many items are gone or need refreshing. This occurred on both mornings of our stay. The 1st morning both juice and fruit bowl were empty and staff was not to be found until 9:50 when they appeared to clean-up. The 2nd morning we arrived at 9:15 and staff was available but indicated that all fruit was gone for the day. Overall, the hotel is convenient with an excellent staff (except breakfast). We would consider it again for a short stay
