Comfortable stay

Comfortable stay. Bed and amenities were nice. My room had a fireplace. Close to Hearst castle. Would stay here again, except wouldn’t eat in the restaurant. Wanting to have the Hearst beef, I ordered a medium rare Hearst burger. It was well done. Sent it back but it came out well done again. Maybe order something they can’t overcook

Location was excellent. Room was good size. View was amazing. Staff was helpful. Price was very reasonable. The exterior and interior definitely could use an update, door and building needs new paint, bathroom had a broken toilet seat, also the base boards of the bathroom were in need of repais. And last thing that wasnt up to par was no microwave in room. Other than that will definitely stay there again. 4 stars

I arrived around 2:30 to check in and my room was not ready. I went to lunch and came back just before four which is check in time and my room was still not ready. I was told both times I would get a call so I left again and killed 2 more hours, coming back at six and was told they had forgotten to call me. I was given a breakfast voucher as an apology. Very understaffed. The property is absolutely beautiful. I’ve stayed here before and it’s unbeatable management just needs to up their staff.
