Our room was well kept and everything worked great. Breakfast was good. We could have used AC. That was the only problem with our stay. We had a great view of the rock, stacks and ocean from the second floor balcony.

The room was clean, nice bedsheets, not a bad mattress. Breakfast was good, parking was readily available; shower was amazingly hot. Hotel's staff was very courteous and nice. The only downside is that hotel itself is quiet old, so if you don't have super high expectations, you'll like it there
