Hotel is really nice. Very clean. We just stayed because it is right on Highway 1.

Location! Views, Proximity, Ocean Air!
Pros:

The location is fabulous. Walkable to Princeton Harbor, restaurants, beaches, the coastal trail. The property was clean, nicely appointed with coastal-scenes artwork, thoughtful design

Cons:

It was disappointing that there were not more amenities for the price. A hot tub for guest use would have been nice, and some type of breakfast bar, or continental breakfast would have been appreciated.

Nice property, pretty well maintained considering all the weather exposure
Pros:

Location and marina view, walkable to other activities and eateries, appreciated the parking provided

Cons:

No indoor pool, when it’s miserably cold outside an indoor pool would be an exclamation point of opportunity

Nice place that could use some updates.
Pros:

The size of the rooms and decor was great. Loved the balcony with the screen as well.

Cons:

Outdated TVs with no streaming. Picture quality was bad as well. We tried to sleep with the sliding doors open, but people were talking outside all night, as well as seagulls (strange at night unless disturbed) and a seal (I would have loved that, but one of the people was saying something to it like "chill out, bruh", so I worried about that situation) The room overlooks 2 restaurants and their parking areas, as well as the water behind them. I'm not sure if these people were fishing or what....at 3 AM I finally shut the glass sliding door and noticed that the red fish sign was back on at one of the restaurants.
