I felt the hotel was really outdated and smelled like mildew. Pillows were rockhard.. our rooms were across the street away from everyone. Not a lot of lightning outside really dark and the hallways inside were also really dark.

The room we received was the dirtiest hotel room I've stayed it. It reeked of mildew and the bathroom has mold all over the shower. The pillows are toddler size and everything about the room and the building in general signal that this place has not been updated in year, and is not maintained. Notice that the 10 star reviews are all the same. Go to yelp to see the honest reviews and photos. The walls are very thin so the party in the room next door was extremely loud. We tried to contact the front desk, but apparently it's not staffed at night and you have to leave a voice mail. The trails to the beach are nice, but you can access them, and parking, without staying at this dump.

The location was beautiful, quiet and peaceful, the beach is about 8 min away, walking, and the walk to the beach is very nice and safe, many deer encouters. Room doesn't have TV, it was okay since we didn't spend to much time in the room, but it would have been nice if it had a mini fridge, specially if you have a little one that drinks baby bottles of milk. Room could be better maintained, there was spiderwebs on the ceiling and I got bit by a spider while in bed, the carpet was coming off on the division with the bathroom floor and staples where uncovered.

Overpriced for the quality. We enjoyed the beautiful architectural design of Julia Morgan. But the property is not well maintained, and it hasn’t been updated inside the rooms. Our room has icky water leak marks at the ceiling and peeling wallpaper. The price is too high for a simple room with no television, coffee maker, microwave, or fridge.

They assigned me with a room very far from the parking lot K . Not safe walking on the road trying to reach out the room. They switched 3 times my assignments room. It's was a horrible experience because my husband has a problem with knees. So it's took an hour to settle down and get a decent room.

Check in was easy and desk staff helpful. The property itself was pretty. Could have used some better lighting on paths at night. Our room was in one of the older buildings- no fan in bathroom which made it very humid in the room. We were there for four nights. Housekeeping came very early after the first night - 8:15am and we were still in the room and asked them to come back a little later. Never saw them again for the rest of the stay. Would have been helpful to have trash taken out. Coffee shop was good, outside seating was nice to gather with our group. Another gathering spot would be nice too.

Accommodating staff, some upgrades needed!

Easy check in. Room was incredibly basic, no tv. Double beds, not even queens. WALLS ARE VERY THIN. We can hear every conversation our neighbors had. First room had extremely loud family next to us. Children were screaming,the dad was yelling throughout the building, kids running up and down the stairs, and this hotel has small 10 bed cabins, so u hear everything. We decided that we would ask for another room, anticipating a very long night and wake up with our neighbors. Front desk staff was amazing to change our room and even upgraded up to a room with a balcony. Campus is huge but very beautiful. It just so spread out its a chore to get to the lobby for their cafe for coffee etc. They had a nice "Sunset" evening with live music and food. The BBQ was probably the worst we have ever had, but the atmosphere and live band was fantastic! Recommendations: Better beds, and catering for your events.
