Great place and great service! However, our room had an extremely small shower due to the property’s 80 plus years since opening. Besides that, great place to stay on PCH without spending a fortune.

Anderson gave 5star customer service! It was raining when I checked out and he offered to carry my luggage out to my car for me. Check-in was a breeze and all the personal touches in the room were wonderful. This hotel is a gem and I will definitely stay there again!

Staff was nice. Location was nice. The bed was very uncomfortable. Lumpy, uneven, no support, all around uncomfortable. Certain areas of the flooring seemed patched over and dangerous to stand on. The bed was bad enough that my girlfriend and I decided to drive the 45 minutes home at 11:30 pm.

The room we stayed in was very clean, the shower was nice , the air conditioner worked great. The only con was we slept on the bottom floor and the people upstairs right above our room stayed up all night long both nights, we could hear everything, every little noise, so when they would walk around it literally sound like they were stomping when they would walk. My husband and I made this trip as our 19 year wedding anniversary and were hoping to rest, sleep in and enjoy ourselves away from our kids, our dogs etc. Next time I make this trip I will definitely make sure NOT to book a dowstair room. The front desk gentleman was friendly and polite.
