Clean and comfortable in an excellent location.
Pros:

The position was just amazing! The facilities were good and the staff were great.

Great. Would love to stay again soon. Great location, and great place to have a drink and food.
Pros:

The bed was super comfortable. Room was large, but really nowhere to put clothes away. Excellent that parking was available and underneath so easily accessible. I booked 2 rooms of the same but the other room my son was in was double the size and had plenty of cupboards so not sure why there was a difference in rooms. I think they had ocean view as well as mine didn't.

Cons:

No drawers and very small tiny hanging space for clothes in my room. Not much water pressure in the shower which meant it took a really long time to wash my hair. The two rooms booked were in different buildings. Closer together would have been great, but understand this is not always easy to achieve.

Pros:

We always get a studio which is fine but usually facing South so never see the sun. Is there a studio facing North?

Cons:

We have been going to The Headlands for years but does not seem to be any recognition that we have been there. Will try booking from website, which have done in the past but mainly used Booking.com

Pros:

Great apartment lots of room and it has everything you need. Great apartment for families as well. Very comfortable bed! Easy access in and out of the garage.

Cons:

Rooms 1-11 are not ocean view as you would expect at booking. Advertising is misleading. We paid for an ocean view room online accompanied by a photo of an ocean view from the 3rd floor. We could see the ocean sort of. We were given a ground floor room - pretty annoying for almost $500/night.
