Areas for improvement

I enjoyed my stay at the Inn and have three suggestions for management to consider for improvement. 1. The blow dryer is very noisy but does not effectively dry hair. 2. The shower drainage is quite slow. 3. The Wi-Fi network was inconsistent, slow, and unreliable during half of my stay.

I love this cozy little hotel. The staff is so nice, helpful and accommodating. The room is charming and clean. The location is perfect and I love to wake up in the mornings to the sound of the waves hitting the rocks. We spend quite a bit of time in the courtyard since there are plenty of sitting options. I look forward to my next stay.

Loud Construction On-Site

Beautiful and convenient location! I'm so glad i stayed here. The onyl reason why this isn't getting 5 stars is because there is construction going on that had a pile driver going early in the morning right on the cliff that the hotel sits on. I get migraines so it was terrible for me to wake up to. There was no warning from the hotel in adavnce and i had to oark on the street instead of the reserved spots for the hotel, and I was told as I parked my car for the night that my car might be towed if I parked there, even though the construction is obviously for the hotel.

No parking

Parking was terrible. I got a room with two rooms for 4 adults and yet they could only give us one parking permit. My don ended up getting a parking ticket. Also the hot water was out. Fortunately they were able to fix it quickly

This was one of the most disgusting properties for an outrageous price that we have ever experienced in decades of travel on numerous continents. The heated pool took 3 days to get heated after asking 3 different employees who never turned the heat on. The tub didn’t drain. There were ants and ant traps in the kitchen. The blinds were thilthy. The exterior of windows so dirty you couldn’t see out of them. The sofa and bed were so old and nasty. Water was shut off for half a day because of a pipe issue. We were asked at night to move our car for construction the next day. Coffee in rooms and lobby were packets of foldgers! Cheers!

False advertising, nothing like the photos

This was a wild experience of false advertising and I CANNOT recommend this hotel at all. This hotel is unfortunately not the relaxing cliff side experience that is shown. We arrived the the hotel and it’s very very run down but the main issues were: 1) the large hotel deck/grass/patio overlooking the ocean that is in the all the photos (here and on the hotel website itself) is completely gone and in its place are large construction equipment and metal rods and torn up dirt. This is absolutely NOT the cliffs view that is advertised. You cannot look to the ocean without staring right at the construction and the advertised deck is simply not there. 2) the room does not match the photos. The photos for our room showed a renovated bathroom, a nice bed, and a nice sitting area. We arrived and found a very old bathroom, poor furniture in a sitting room, and a terrible bed that hardly fit the room and you couldn’t even walk around it. The renovated space was not what we saw. This was a highly overpriced and misleading experience, we ended up speaking with the kind man at the front desk for a refund and booked something else for the night. It seems this was not the first time someone found a different hotel and room than expected. Additional notes: The hotel pool was very cold (January but advertised as heated), fire pits were available for rent for $50 a day among other items for rent, and the facility is overall very run down.
