What to do in Arroyo Grande
Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour in Big Sur PCH Highway 1
"Hotel has a great view, feels like a real vacation. Our only issue is if you arrive too early and need to go to the bathroom before check-in, you have to walk 2 minutes to the Panera next door. Probably the same as other small to medium size hotels. I appreciate the fairness of the hotel."
"We arrived a little early to request a top floor away from the road and we were told it was possible, but would take longer. We said it was not a problem. When we returned later, no rooms were available, and so we waited longer. Nearly an hour later we were given a room facing the frontage road and the freeway. Did not sleep well that night due to the road noise.
Hotel was not as clean and maintained as most Hampton Inn. Very disappointing."
