My fav place on the coast
arrived to find a spacious, cathedral ceiling, very large deck , fireplace and spa bath room: very unexpected. Discovered the bluff trail access by the hotel and they will make a picnic to take along!! ( going back to experience that!) Treated my birthday as something special and loved every minute .

Great Service
Karen at the desk was awesome. It was my wife’s birthday and we forgot the champagne back home. Not only did Karen suggest a bath bomb that my wife loved, she had some great selections of champagne on hand! I picked out a bottle and Karen brought it up to the room on ice with the bath bomb gift wrapped! Oh…. all while keeping it a secret from my wife so it looked like I planned it for months! Thanks Karen.
