    Everything. Kindness of the staff, good breakfast and possibility to have free juices and coffee during the day. Free parking and perfect location near the beach.

    I booked the room at the very last minute (after another property bailed on me) and the staff was the most accommodating. They made me feel welcome, helped me get settled after a long drive, and had overall great customer orientation throughout my entire stay. The room was fabulous - large, with a high ceiling, spotlessly clean, with a super comfortable bed and nice linens. It had all the amenities that you may need and a great gas fireplace. The location is amazing - very close to the beach and dunes on one hand, and close to the town with its restaurants and cafes on the other. Really recommend that one!

    I would say there wasn't anything I truly "didn't Like" but would have been great if the room was a bit larger.

    The only thing keeping me from an "exceptional" rating is the smallness of the rooms. But it was immaculate, and well detailed. The owner was very friendly and courteous.

    There is no actual breakfast room, so you must eat in your room

    The location (literally 3 min walk from the ocean), very clean, tea/juices/coffee facility open and free to use 8AM till at least 9 PM, some quick options for breakfast (oatmeal, some cereals, donuts etc), safe parking, very helpful staff.

    It was small but we were ok with that considering the price was right.

    It was close to the golf course and the ocean. It was clean and had all of the amenities one would need; refrigerator, microwave, iron, etc. It was very reasonably priced, very clean and the property owners/managers were more than friendly, in fact very accommodating.

    Nothing really. It might be a bit old fashioned for some but we loved the individuality.

    Beautiful historic hotel in a perfect position on the sea front. Really friendly staff and quirky building, lovely plants and quaint corners, fab roof terrace for breakfast and free pie at night!

    My family was in a "cottage" that had two separate rooms, so my daughters could share one room and my husband and I could have the larger one with the fireplace. We loved how it was a few minutes walk to the water/sunset and there was an all day coffee machine for flavored lattes. It was very quiet, clean and "beachy" with plantation shutters and ceiling fan. Bedding and towels were all white and very clean and soft. Donuts were a nice "vacation treat" for breakfast.

    Somewhat small room and not a lot of breakfast choices. However, there was a place to store your own food and eat in room.

    Great location very near the ocean with sea otters, sea lions and the Asilomar dunes. Very good walks to enjoy. Lots of Monarch butterflies overwinter in a nearby park. Very friendly staff.
