Asilomar seems like an attractive conference center, but the rooms are both dated and not particularly well kept. The bath tub had broken tile below the water spout, and the Formica counters were some odd shade of red. And there was a shortage of power receptacles, which was kind of annoying.

Amazing location and grounds. However, pick your room wisely as some rooms have not been updated for over 20 years. The room is extremely basic but very comfortable bed.

The place is cozy, clean, convenient and pretty. However the staff is stubborn and not helpful. I booked 2 rooms for 2 days with me my wife and my in-laws. I requested them to give me a rooms near by so that the elderly don't have to walk a lot between rooms. The front desk person Chris, made some annoying faces when I requested him to give me close by rooms. Also, there are no microwaves on the property to heat your food. They prefer the guests eat food from the dining area which is crazy expensive $46 (or around this price) I am not sure how this strategy is helping them. At least a common area to heat the food will be sufficient. All the comfort coziness, and pretty location feel will be vanished when the staff is rude. I would recommend to find places somewhere else because there are a ton to beautiful places to stay for a day or two.

Love this spot. My biggest critiques are that the rooms dont have coffee makers and the food you can purchase on site is very expensive. But the property is gorgeous: right next to the beach with a summer camp feel and charming rooms. I'd come again!

The bed sheets felt like straw, but the bed was huge and comfy. There was only a teeny tiny shampoo and conditioner available in the bathroom and there was mold all over the shower curtain and bathroom door. The room was big and comfortable, but really stuffy. Lots of windows, but they looked into the other rooms so we did not feel comfortable having them open.

Black mold and cobwebs in our bathroom. Very very basic room. Hairdryer that was there overheated as soon as plugged in and started producing smoke…. Front desk did move us to a better room where there was ‘less’ black mold in bathroom. It’s a shame as the property has a huge potential to be amazing. Daughter would not use shower without shower shoes!
