Convient, clean, comfy, excellent service!
Pros:

It was the perfect stop for our cross country move / trip. We arrived late to great service, a comfy, quiet, clean room, a safe area in which to walk the dog the next morning, and a fabulous breakfast at Capone’s, right down the street.

Cons:

Despite the elderly decor, we would stay here again.
Pros:

The hotel is in a quiet location very near Asilomar. The cleaning staff was wonderful and the room immaculate. At my request, they stopped using their air freshener which caused problems for my asthma. Although we did not swim, other visitors seemed to enjoy the pool and spa area. It was GREAT that our dog could come with us.

Cons:

The "beautifully appointed rooms" were dark and the decor quite outdated. Some refurbishment is long overdue. Breakfast was okay, but we would have been very happy had some juice/s been available.

Pros:

I loved that the rooms had fireplaces in them, it was very cozy. They also had a popcorn machine in the room which was a nice touch of comfort. The location is very dreamy. It's nestled in the woods (we saw plenty of deer) yet a short walk to a beautiful beach.

Cons:

The price felt a bit high for the offering. Breakfast was ok, but definitely could have been better. It was coffee, diy waffles, cereal, pastries and boiled eggs. I also wish the lighting in the rooms were a bit brighter. The yellow light made it feel dirtier than I think it actually was.

Door lock was pretty stiff. Staff was responsive.
