My family and I booked a double room for 4 nights on the ground floor. The room was spacious and clean with a coffee pot, microwave, refrigerator, fireplace with a Duralog and small balcony. We appreciated the hot tub and heated pool in the evenings with the continental breakfast each morning. The location was perfect to travel to Big Sur and Monterey and the staff was amazing.
