Not worth the money. Ocean view is not of much value when the balcony is dirty and not a place you want to sit in

Average rooms. The older lady at the front desk was rude and customer service was not up to par. Only thing that was decent was the hot tub and the fire pit in the back that you can use to make s’mores when you purchase the kit at the front desk. No direct beach access. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Love the location. Rooms very dated and run down. extreme water damage to the storage cabinet with undercounter refrigerator and television stand. Wood so frail ot was falling apart. Window shades worn and filthy. Door closed with dead bolt but felt unsafe and unsecure as there was a huge gap in the door seal. Toilet had stains, tub fixtures were lose. Surfaces didnt feel clean, found a hair on counter. Floor hadnt been vacuumed thoroughly. Found candy from previous guest (not ours) on floor. Grounds seems unattended. Pathway was stained. Looked like someone spilled paint and it was not properly cleaned. Upstairs path seemed unstable and could fall apart at anytime. path covering indoor/outdoor floor covering old and weathered. Garbage, boxes and soiled linen bin blocked downstairs pathway for most of the day. Pool area and deck not clean. green algae growing in the corner from wet weather. Water level very low in spa. such potential for the glorified motor lodge. Definitely needs some love and maintenance. Michael was friendly at the front desk, other than that didn't seem like anyone really cared about this property. Will not return or recommend.

This is our second time staying at the Spyglass Inn. The staff is always so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The restaurant serves great food. For breakfast I highly recommend the crab benedict with the sautéed spinach and fresh fruit. The all you can eat Dungeness crab on Tuesdays is amazing. We will be back.

We’ve enjoyed staying at this property in the past but are very underwhelmed by the amenities and condition of the rooms now. The carpet felt kind of dirty like it needed a good cleaning… one of the legs to the bedside table was broken, complimentary breakfast isn’t offered which is okay but there isn’t even a microwave in the room. We listed 4 people staying in the room and only two pool towels were provided. Not big deal breakers but it all adds up. Overall, the staff and location are great but the rooms and amenities are just okay.

Really disappointed in this inn after seeing the online pictures & reading the positive reviews. Our upgraded partial ocean view room was horrible. The carpets were so dirty with holes cut out of them, the bed uncomfortable, no heat & the partial view no existent. Our view was of the parking lot & the roof - not sure how hotels get away with these descriptions. The price was insane for this inn. Be aware that there isn’t an elevator so if you are not fully agile don’t book here.
