The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub and swimming pool are indoors and are awesome. I think the swimming pool is heated from the hot tub because it’s warm awesome place to stay.

Room was clean, comfortable with a fireplace that was working. The heating worked very well as it was a chilly night. Bed and pillows were comfortable and room was spacious. Bathroom was clean and the shower had instant hot water and plenty of it.

Lots of potential. Room huge and clean. No A/C only heater which would be fine except it was warm for this time of year. Coffee maker and fridge. Can tell they are in process of fixing up the property. Great price and good location to beach, Hearst Castle and Cambria. Not bad for a last minute trip.
