We treated ourselves to the Ocean View Penthouse, which is very spacious and nicely appointed and does have good ocean views. The view would be even better if the one distorted window were replaced. There's a little frig, microwave, ice maker, and coffee maker (which can also heat water for tea). That's all great. Take your own dishes, cutlery, etc., if you want to eat in the room. One other consideration is there's no elevator and it's 49 steps up to the room, tho if you park in the back or north side then it's only 39 steps. The "fireplace" is electric and not very convincing, so that was disappointing but minor. Just don't picture yourselves cuddling up before a crackling fire. Montara State Beach is a short 10 minute walk away but not a nice one, as part of it is on Highway 1 with no shoulder and vehicles hurtling past. We'll probably drive it next time we go. It's a short drive to the Devil's Slide Trail and that's a good place to walk. There are trails up in the hills behind the Inn as well. We haven't explored those. All in all, we like staying there. This is our second stay.

Just staying for the night, but it's a nice quiet location, well not talking about the PCH, and ocean sounds those just come with starting feet from both. Clean ,good size room with a balcony and ocean view. Got to see the sunset last night, it was pretty awesome. Just bring warm clothes and a blanket it gets windy.

The rooms are spacious and did not disappoint. It was just as seen in the photos. Walking distance from food, gas station, and the beach. The only problem we had was the bed. It is extremely uncomfortable that we were constantly waking up every hour with back pain. :( Other than that this place would have been perfect. I love the set up of the room.

Not much of an ocean view. Actually, its marginally better than my view of the Pacific Ocean from my back yard in Iowa. No elevator. The balcony isnt private. The noise from the highway is very loud. There is a gas station next door that is constantly busy and noisy. The view you mostly have is of the canopy over the gas pumps next door.

My room was really nice, modern, and spacious The stained glass window was a nice touch. The bed is memory foam, which is really nice! The staff was helpful and friendly. One bit of advice is to avoid the restaurant right next door. The food is awful and it’s way overpriced. The owner is very difficult to deal with. I would seriously avoid.

Had a great time. Booked the ocean view penthouse. Room was perfect. In room ice maker, and Keurig coffee machine were ideal. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and very convenient to downtown San Francisco. Would definitely rebook!
