Great place to stay for one night on a California Route 1 road trip. Very pleasant stay, the Pacific Ocean on one side and mountains on the other sides. Beautiful views, clean rooms, great services, decent breakfast, and so many more at this amazing price. Overall, an amazing one night stay here.

The hotel is right by the ocean. 10 min drive to Hearst Castle. Along the road are all hotels. Staff is friendly and responsive. You can check in online. The room has a fireplace, the bathroom is spacious. I like their breakfast, burritos of your choice.

Beautiful views from our bedroom, can walk on the boardwalk on the ocean across the street. A couple of restaurants you can walk to from the hotel. Rooms are pretty sound proof but we kept the windows open to hear the waves across the street. I love staying here!
