Beautiful, rustic campus just a few minutes walk from state beach. Gorgeous natural setting. Simple king bed room showed it's age, but it has high ceilings and picture windows, and was roomy and comfortable. There are two free EV chargers on site, but with the prevalence of electric vehicles in CA, they were in constant use during our stay.

Welcoming, knowledgeable front desk staff (thanks, Chris!). Modern, clean room with quiet fridge; plenty of space. Beautiful outdoor pool was temporarily closed, but the grounds invite exploration. Wonderful place to spend a few days. Stone fireplace in historic lodge and in some rooms. We love staying in this State park.

Make sure you are in a historic room close to the main buildings and the dunes. The modem rooms are larger but they are quite a bit further away from everything that makes Asilomar special (and also in worse condition, in my experience). The food on site is mediocre but convenient. It's really all about the views and walks, and the historic ambiance of the core part of the site.

Parking was easy and safe. Older building so noise travels and there was no fan or AC so room was hot and stuffy. No coffeemaker but there was a common room microwave.

Beautiful and historic resort with boardwalk trails through a restored sand dune area and ocean shoreline. Our first floor “Manzanita” building room could have used better sound proofing, as the neighbors upstairs were noisy. Also, it sounded like there were rats behind the radiators. If we stay there again, we will try for a second floor room. The staff was very nice and we really enjoyed having breakfast in the historic dining hall.
