Pet rooms are filthy, dark, and smells like a car wash. ( heavy chemicals ) They charge a $40 pet fee and parking fee top it off. Pool and spa need to be updated. Regret not spending a little more for the cliffs.

Wowza. Holy Scenery Batman!

What a way to wake up! A gorgeous view, a calm and serene atmosphere, and just an amazing start to every day. Comfy bed, great amenities, close to everything. Quiet. Just wow. I travel a lot and this was by far my favorite place yet. And I’m picky.

The grounds are beautiful. The view and sound of the waves crashing are amazing. The room was quiet. The bed was very comfortable. Upgrade to a beach view room with a balcony. You won’t regret it! Purchase the s’mores kit at the check in desk to enjoy around one of the three fire pits. We met a wonderful family from Switzerland. And get up early to enjoy the beauty of the ocean alone. (But being a blanket or towel because the chairs may be damp from overnight fog.)

The room looked a bit shabby. There wasn't enough lighting and the room was too dim. We couldn't open the curtain, because that window was overlooking the parking lot area. Everything in the room looked old and outdated. Overall, the experience was okay, but I don't think I would stay at the spyglass inn again.
