Cleanliness

Consistently reported as clean and well maintained (rooms described as clean, 'everything very clean', good housekeeping).
Service
7.5
Mixed: several reports of slow/messy check-in and needing to check in at a sister property, but also mentions of friendly staff and a manager offering complimentary upgrades.
Location
8.8
Strong location directly by the ocean/beach and convenient for coastal walking trails; some guests noted parked cars in front of rooms that blocked views.
Room Quality
8.5
Rooms are generally described as comfortable, cozy and well appointed (fireplace, jacuzzi tub, good beds), though some guests were disappointed their requested ocean-view rooms were not honored.
Amenities
8
Good amenities cited (fireplace, jacuzzi tub, outdoor gas heaters), but small issues such as unclear fireplace controls and limited evening staff presence were noted.
Value for Money
7.8
Mixed: several guests praised the cost-benefit and complimentary upgrades, while others felt the price was high for the experience (especially when views or breakfast quality did not match expectations).
Food and Beverage
6.5
Repeatedly called out as a weak area: continental breakfast described as disappointing or inadequate for the price paid.
Overall Experience

Overall positive stays for many guests (honeymooners, repeat positive comments, 'wonderful' stay, would stay again), despite service/check-in and breakfast issues — strong beachfront setting and comfortable rooms drove very high overall satisfaction.

Lovely overnight stay and had everything we needed
Pros:

It was close to the sea and was very relaxing

Cons:

We got in after 6pm which meant checking in at another property which would have been fine but it took longer than I hoped

Excelente.
Pros:

Muito bem localizado, limpo e confortável. Usamos somente por uma noite durante nossa viagem pela BigSur. Ótimo para pernoite. Chegamos no horário do pôr do sol, e ainda conseguimos ter um lindo registro desse momento.

Not recommended.
Pros:

Room was cozy, with ocean view

Cons:

Cars were parked in front of our room, which totally ruined the ocean and sunset view for us. Also, the breakfast offered was very disappointing considering the price we paid for the room.

Goos but disappointing as location did not honor the booking made.
Pros:

Room was spacious.

Cons:

I booked the room through booking.com 4 months in advance and requested an ocean view. We did not get an ocean view. When we got there, Management declared there was no such request. Indicated there were no rooms with a view available and proceeded to say that we should have booked directly. We paid over a hundred dollars more for the night over our room in downtown Cambria for the view and the easy access to the walking trail along the beach. My friend was in from the East coast for this get away and we were very disappointed that this hotel did not honor the reservation.

Wonderful!
Pros:

I loved my stay at the hotel! The room was clean and comfortable, and having a fireplace and jacuzzi tub was absolutely wonderful. I also really enjoyed the location and found the staff to be friendly and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

The only things I would have enjoyed were a better ocean view and a little more staff presence in the evening. We also had some difficulty figuring out how to turn on the fireplace, as there wasn’t any information provided. We eventually located the switch, but it was on the opposite side of the room near the bedside lamp. A small note or indication of its location would have been helpful.

Excelente custo benefício! O melhor lugar que fiquei na highway 1 de SF para LA
Pros:

Gostei de tudo!!! O David gerente da pousada é um cara muito gente fina, ofereceu upgrade sem custo e mesmo sem pedir já disponibilizou chalés melhores sem custo adicional. Tudo muito limpo, arrumado, com aquecedores a gas do lado de fora disponíveis a noite. Baita custo benefício!!!! Pode ficar sem receio….quarto grande, tudo espetacular!!!!

Cons:

Na verdade gostei de tudo. O café continental não me agrada, mas é o que se tem disponível em lugares desse padrão. Ok.
