A one night stay to see Hearst Castle along a Pacific Coast Highway trip. This hotel looks like it has seen better days and although clean, looked a bit tired and past its best. An included continental breakfast was ok. If I was to stop in this area again, I would probably choose somewhere different to stay.

It’s noisey if you’re downstairs, windows are too close to the parking lot. Not much privacy. Overall, staff and guest services good. Property okay. A bit outdated.
