The property was “fine”, we booked through Expedia, paid for the Delux Patio View King room but placed into a standard Queen. Unfortunately no one at the property was willing to give us a refund of the difference. We reached out to Expedia and they were also 100% unwilling to concede or refund us the difference in the price. So disappointed in the property and Expedia.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The high temp was 61 degrees. There was no heat source in the rooms. We were given a space heater. The rooms were not very clean like stains in carpet, bugs in window jams, and junk stored in closet; nor were the outside areas very pleasant which had spider webs and dead plants all around. Plus: convenient to water front and shopping. I would NOT pay to stay again.

Staff was welcoming, and check-in was easy. The hotel is right across from Morro Rock and we had a great view from our room. It is possible to walk to great restuants and Morro Rock from the property. There was plenty of parking avaliable. Room was no thrills but comfortable. It was possible to hear some noise from other rooms- conversations and the murmer of the TV.
