Peaceful and charming
It was so peaceful and charming. I highly recommend if you need a retreat from your busy life. Across the street is the most beautiful ocean views and walk path. I took three walks a day.

Location on Moonstone Beach
Location was perfect, steps from Moonstone Beach. A fireplace in the room was a bonus as was the Breakfast Basket delivered to our room each morning.

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately we did not enjoy our stay. Our room was clean and the person working at the front desk was kind, but overall I would not recommend this motel. There was a loud noise that kept us up all night which sounded like the sewer system or the air conditioning system-not quite sure. My whole family didn't sleep because of it. The water in the shower stayed hot for about 5 minutes and the rest was freezing cold, the lock on the bathroom door is broken, the curtain in the room is broken, and the lamp in our room didn't work until the person at the front desk fixed it for us.

Beautiful sunset views and great access to Hearst Castle. lot's of restaurant options nearby. Nice touch for how they serve breakfast in a basket directly to your room. Can’t wait to come back!

Very nice stay
We will definitely go back. The room was roomy. It had a fireplace. The only thing I didn’t like about the fireplace was that the size of the flame depended on the temperature setting of the thermostat. Sometimes we like the ambiance of the fireplace, but couldn’t really use it if it got too hot. That’s just being picky. We didn’t know there was a patio. So that was nice surprise. The breakfast was cute when it was delivered in a picnic basket. Loved the hot tub. Walking distance to the beach. Everything was nice and comfortable.

A very beautiful little room very nice area you can walk right across the street to the beach. Just know when I say they have room service all it is is breakfast that they bring to your room. However the room is very clean and comfortable. I recommend staying here

6/10 Good

Of course the location is excellent however I didn't really think the property itself was of value paid for it. The room was quite outdated and while clean I honestly don't think the price paid for it is worth the room itself. Im quite sure the property is making you pay for the location. I found it disappointing that they could deliver the breakfast only on a certain time. I understand any logistical issues that might arise but honestly 7:45 is just too late. I'm sure there are plenty of people that would like to depart before that.

The rooms are nice and the property is neat and clean. The breakfast delivered to your room is very convenient, but I am not wild about eating in the room and the food was at best mediocre.
