The hotel was in a very central location, and while the amenities weren't quite what we are accustomed to, the staff was wonderful, and we would stay again just because they made us feel like family.
Room was nice, large and clean. It looked out over greenery and not the road, which was pleasant, since some of the rooms were overlooking the parking lot. Great location, walking distance to Moonstone Beach and Cambria eateries.
Housekeeping available on 3rd day of stay and by appointment, which we didn't know. The lady at the desk was nice and brought us fresh towels.
No restaurant (except decent grab n go breakfast), basic "spa" with steam room and jacuzzi and not many staff people around. El Colibri is nice for a night or two while driving Highway 1 but not for long term stays.
This was a very tranquil and secluded Spa. This will be our go to stay spot.

Room was fine just a little dated, nice touch with the whirpool bath though.
Standard coffee machine, view was better than the front bit nothing special.
Nice bathroom, quiet corridors.
Spa was very limited but functional.
Great spot for long distance drivers, not a place for a romantic weekend away.
Our room was spotless and very nicely appointed. The tall ceilings and beautiful window coverings made it feel gracious and luxurious.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nice room (102) with more than everything we needed.
Friendly staff. Very light continental breakfast.
Dinner at Robins was exquisite! Close by and beyond our expectations.
I would stay here again and definitely go to Robins.
Fireplace was great. Room was very nice and cozy ! The only small complain was the wifi wasn't good, maybe because we were in a corner room. There were no closet or ironing board. Iron was there. At the front desk area the wifi was good.
Other than that the stay was awesome !

Manager was absolutely lovely, atmosphere is beyond clean and relaxing, amenities even down to the soaps were very enjoyable. I had the deluxe king bed with jacuzzi bathtub and it helped me with the reset I needed.
Went for an anniversary stay-cation, and loved it. Beautiful, clean room with a fireplace. Cute boutique hotel with nice helpful staff too. Easy access to Moonstone beach boardwalk. Will definitely be coming back.
Fireplace was amazing, jacuzzi tub was amazing, stand/sit shower was a nice touch, very clean and fresh smelling, forest view helped with fresh air. Staff was very nice. Location was prime with easy access to beach and local businesses. We will be back.
Our stay was for one night. I would stay here again. The amenities were great, like the steam room and jacuzzi. We checked in on a Sunday, and both areas were empty and extra nice to use privately. I was surprised by the breakfast, I was expecting a little more, but we ended up getting full with bagels and the hard boiled eggs they had. There was tea and coffee as well, although the hot water ran out twice during our stay, so we just asked the staff for more and they were SUPER friendly and replenished the tea area. They also had some packaged sweet bread. The parking is underground and there is an elevator which makes it super convenient. The room was nice and clean, bed comfortable, and enough towels provided in room. I look forward to booking again!
Beautiful location & rooms, just wish I had requested a room facing away from the front entrance. It was noisy with very little privacy as people and car’s continuously pass by.
Very kind staff, welcoming & friendly!
