Quiet and comfy for just a night.
Pros:

Great Location. Really lovely courtyard and comfy beds! The night clerk was so helpful and kind, he went above and beyond.

Cons:

We got the king room with a fireplace, but the fireplace was not working at all. They looked at it and couldn’t fix it, then offered a discount on the room instead. We really wanted the fireplace though. In the end, we never got the discount however.

Welcoming polls and garden area. Very relaxing
Pros:

This was a one night stay on our way to Half Moon Bay. We had previously visited the area so just looking for a reasonable place to sleep. Rooms were small but decent. The pool and grounds were lovely and the star of the property. Would suggest room close to pool or otherwise looking at parking lots. The front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. The park across the street was lovely as well as access to walking path towards the harbor. If the rooms were updated could be a hidden gem.

Cons:

Close to busy road and no restaurants close if you didn't want to drive. The price for the area made it a good deal.
