The location is great if you wish to visit Monterey or Carmel yet be removed from all the touristy areas. Easy walk to ocean trails, if weather permits. Room was large, had a fireplace with gas starter and great supply of wood in addition to a coffeemaker, small fridge, microwave, and hot air corn popper. Bed was fine. They offer breakfast items, but I brought my own since I find most hotel offerings have too much sugar for my diet. If it’s still chilly out, you’ll appreciate the fireplace since the rooms have electric baseboard heat. If you’re on the first floor and have a room above, you’ll hear them due to the vinyl floors, unfortunately woke up at 6 a.m. 😔 Didn’t have a chance to use the hot tub, one needs to consult with front desk first, which seemed a bit odd. I’d stay again since the rooms are well equipped.

It was so great! Lots of space, great staff, super clean. We got in so late that we didn’t get to enjoy it as much as we’d have liked (we were on our way to Napa) but the sound of the ocean was awesome and we will definitely stay here on our next trip to Monterey!

It’s pretty minor, but there was a beautiful wood burning fireplace but the wood they’d set up for us was a big block that only smoked and wouldn’t catch fire. So that was a little disappointing. However, had we been there early enough to not feel awkward contacting the night manager, I’m certain he would have taken care of it for us!

Great location right near the Asilomar conference grounds; the hot tubs are great (and I appreciate that there are two different ones so you don't have to worry about crowding); the room was quiet with a comfortable bed; there was a good selection for the continental breakfast; and it was really nice to have a fireplace in the room. This was a perfect place to stay for my work trip, and I would happily come back in the future!

The carpet in my room was a little worn in places (but that's a very minor quibble in what's otherwise a fantastic hotel)

Cozy lil place. We loved the fireplace and the fact that breakfast is included. They also serve free wine for a couple hours in the evening. It wasn't very good wine but hey, it was free, and it was a nice little kick start to our evening, I'm not complaining. It kind of felt like a flash back in time. The rooms could use a bit of updating but everything was clean and in working condition. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be returning,

Room decor needs updating. Nothing major, just a few small modifications to bring the rooms into modern times would be nice.

Pretty much everything. I really appreciated the quiet spacious room with less stairs and bottom floor as requested. I loved the doggie potty area nearby especially at 5am. The bed was very comfortable. The charging station on the night tablewas so great I bought one of my own for travel. I thought the breakfast (and the lady who attended to it) were great (delicious coffee, my favorite Raisin Bran cereal and top-notch scones). Got my day started right.

The only thing I might mention is that the rug in my room in front of the fireplace either needs to be cleaned or replaced. Minor issue.

A wonderful quiet location in the middle of a residential area across the street from a state park, and State Beach. The facility is very clean and has a mountain cabin feel to it.. Our room had a fireplace which was wonderful, and a nice touch of popcorn and a popcorn maker.. Along with a welcoming glass of wine in the evening and pretty decent breakfast in the morning all included.. We met the owner, great guy good conversation.. Quite the character... The main lobby has quite a collection of golf memorabilia and miscellaneous sports memorabilia... As you can tell we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we'll go back next time we're in the area...

Beautiful area with lovely neighborhood walking. 2 hot tubs and wine available in the late afternoon. Cozy fireplace in the room with the gas starter made it easy to get a fire going. Fridge, microwave, small coffee maker and a popcorn maker with popcorn were great!

Beds were a bit too firm for our liking. Noise from upstairs rooms and outside stairs was pretty pronounced. Not enough parking available and when we came back at 8:30pm the 2nd night, we had to park on the street.

The location right near the beach, 5 minute walk, the owner Robert he is super funny and makes you feel right at home, the details in the apartment like the popcorn machine and very good pans and coffee. Don't expect super luxurious furniture, it is a bit outdated sometimes, but the beds were new and super comfy and we loved it. The pictiures don't do it justice, fe all the floors have been renewed (laminate) which makes a huge difference.also kudos to house cleaning,they came in every day and left it super tidy and clean. Oh and breakfast and wine between 5 and 7 pm are included!

Nothing!

From the moment we drove up the road to this property until leaving, we loved everything about it. The smell of the surrounding forests, the nearby ocean, woodsmoke coming from the fireplaces in the rooms was intoxicating, the air fresh, the room very large, comfortable and with a fireplace that enabled us to truly relax after long days in this gorgeous area. Breakfast was good, and the owner a very genial, friendly, welcoming and interesting man (see the large, signed poster of Bill Murray in the dining area). This is the kind of hotel that I can imagine people coming back to year after year, and if we lived closer, we would design our holidays around staying at this lovely hotel. Did I mention the 2 hot tubs and the generous glass of local wine offered to guests in the afternoons? I wish more hotels were styled like this delightful place to stay!

There was absolutely nothing to dislike.

The location is walking distance to the beach and the lighthouse. The nearby seafood restaurant is good. The fireplace and the in room popcorn is perfect for chilly nights since it is a bit windy there at night.

Simple continental breakfast items for those just want coffee and some pastries, and wine in the evening, but do us no good since we don't drink wine or coffee. One of rooms was next to a dog owner, and her dogs constantly barking. I didn't realize they have pets.
