Room quality was lacking. The property overall was very picturesque. However, our only issue was with the room - very dated - no TV, no phone, faucets in the bathroom old and rusty. Shower doors were moldy. Very poor lighting. Room had a musty, old smell to it. Felt like we were “glamping”. Maybe this was what they intended but not what we expected.

I was traveling with my 17-year-old son and reserved a room with two single beds. I was even called to ask if I wanted a different room with a single king and I refused. When I arrived, they gave us a room with a single king. They had no other rooms available so we were forced to have a single king.

We liked the location and the room. Beds were very comfy. Bigger pillows tho. The front desk person who checked meus in was nice, but the phone kept ringing and she took the call each time instead and dint put them.on hold while hellping us. She did it two times. Felt like check was too long because of this.

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.

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.
