Walking in and greeted by the front desk person, she was very nice and answered all my questions! She said the hotel was undergoing renovations so I didn’t know what to expect! Entered the room and was pleasantly surprised! It was very clean and spacious! The bathroom was so nice, jacuzzi tub was amazing! Bedding and bed were comfortable and inviting! I would call this a hidden treasure along the 101!

Great hotel. Going through a renovation. Big rooms with jetted tub and separate shower. Construction started way too early, though and they would not stop the banging when asked twice! This was very frustrating and unacceptable for a weekend visit. If this had not happened they would have received excellent across the board.

A very nice hotel with huge rooms. They are under renovation, so you have to go with that. Will be beautiful when done. The only down side is the parking situation. If you get in late, you have to look for parking on the street.

If I could give this place less than 1 star, I would. Booked this place in September for a stay this weekend and when I arrived there they tell me they don't have reservations for me. When I show them my receipt with reservation number they proceed to tell me that they overbooked and don't have rooms available due to renovations being conducted where my room was supposed to be. Once again, I booked this place in September and was never notified about a cancellation and was never refunded. They sent me to a holiday inn express like 2 miles away; thank God I paid for the rooms upfront front because it forced them to have Holiday Inn bill them directly. The couple ahead of us who they did the exact same thing to was told that since they elected to pay at the hotel that their card would just not be charged and they could just pay the holiday inn out of pocket instead; problem is when we all booked our rooms a month in advanced. The day of room rates at the new hotel were 200% higher than what we original paid for day of booking...I will never try to stay at this hotel ever again.
