9.4/10 Exceptional! (390 reviews)
The room was spacious but lacking storage. No shelves or drawers in the bathroom and the sink (floating type) was pulling away from the wall, afraid to add the weight of toiletries. The luggage rack and clothes rack were in the bathroom…a damp space bc of the shower. Not ideal. Overall, quiet and clean with all the amenities/appliances one would need.
Easy walking distance to Morro Rock and Main St.

We had the perfect oceanfront room and fabulous view. The room was very nice and large. Being above the garden by the ocean bluffs was fun. The best was they had fire pits along the grassy property.
