Beautiful property. Close to Hearst Castle .
Pros:

Property was beautiful . Once the renovation is complete it will be gorgeous . Breakfast station was absolutely spotless.

Cons:

The downfall was that there were only stairs to my room and no elevator. I can walk up stairs but it is difficult as I am handicap. But the staff and facility were so amazing and beautiful

Pros:

Newly opened location. Everything was new and fresh. It was a long building vs a tall building. It was convenient for us with luggage and a dog.

Cons:

Nothing specific. It was a Hampton inn

Since the check-in time is so late, I think the check-out time should be a little later.
Pros:

Excellent location, right across the street from the ocean.

Cons:

The breakfast was cold and there was no microwave oven to warm it up.

Pros:

Listen, I get it: for the price you don’t expect the Ritz. But is it too much to ask for wi-fi, or a person at a front desk to go to and ask questions?

The “coffee” served out of pump thermoses should be outlawed by the Geneva Conventions.

The place was clean, but just weirdly laid out. The bathroom fan rattled like a Huey shot down over Vietnam. Half of the hotel was under construction, but the whole place felt this way.

It was shelter. No more, no less.

Pros:

The bathroom sink was leaking. The table in the center of the room was broken. There were loose screws on the ground. One of the bed’s slats were broken. Was supposed to be non-smoking but the room and area smelled of cigarettes

SMH!!!
Pros:

It was just okay. A very basic room. No fridge, no microwave and no phone. We changed rooms and the new room's phone didn't work either 😡 The outlets in both rooms didn't work either.
