The front desk staff was very friendly and check in was easy. There was ample parking and luggage carts available. We had an ocean view room which gave us a partial view of the water. The hotel was an easy walk to views of Morro Rock and there were lots of restaurants nearby. The room was very quiet and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.
