Amazing views and service!

This hotel and staff is absolutely amazing. We absolutely loved our stay, the views were amazing and my girls loved the heated salt water pool! They were working on the lower level deck so there was mild construction, however it did not affect the stay at all.

Areas for improvement

I enjoyed my stay at the Inn and have three suggestions for management to consider for improvement. 1. The blow dryer is very noisy but does not effectively dry hair. 2. The shower drainage is quite slow. 3. The Wi-Fi network was inconsistent, slow, and unreliable during half of my stay.

I love this cozy little hotel. The staff is so nice, helpful and accommodating. The room is charming and clean. The location is perfect and I love to wake up in the mornings to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks. We spend quite a bit of time in the courtyard since there are plenty of sitting options. I look forward to my next stay.

Loud Construction On-Site

Beautiful and convenient location! I'm so glad i stayed here. The onyl reason why this isn't getting 5 stars is because there is construction going on that had a pile driver going early in the morning right on the cliff that the hotel sits on. I get migraines so it was terrible for me to wake up to. There was no warning from the hotel in adavnce and i had to oark on the street instead of the reserved spots for the hotel, and I was told as I parked my car for the night that my car might be towed if I parked there, even though the construction is obviously for the hotel.

No parking

Parking was terrible. I got a room with two rooms for 4 adults and yet they could only give us one parking permit. My don ended up getting a parking ticket. Also the hot water was out. Fortunately they were able to fix it quickly

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This was one of the most disgusting properties for an outrageous price that we have ever experienced in decades of travel on numerous continents. The heated pool took 3 days to get heated after asking 3 different employees who never turned the heat on. The tub didn’t drain. There were ants and ant traps in the kitchen. The blinds were thilthy. The exterior of windows so dirty you couldn’t see out of them. The sofa and bed were so old and nasty. Water was shut off for half a day because of a pipe issue. We were asked at night to move our car for construction the next day. Coffee in rooms and lobby were packets of foldgers! Cheers!
