Low Water Temp
I stayed here for three nights. The hotel has a few years on it but it was in really good condition. Very clean. I loved the gas fireplace. My only gripe was that the bath/shower water heat was set too low. I love a bath on a cold night but the faucet temp was warm at best and went to lukewarm pretty quick. That is a big thing to me and would actually cause me to hesitate to stay here again.

..
Two negative issues to address first: 1. the insulation in the ceiling was very poor and the people staying there very loud. They moved around at all hours, it was very annoying. 2. The person in reception was rather short with John; he inquired about our purchase of two of the ceramic mugs. She responded that she didn't know and would have to ask her manager but made no effort to do so and did not say she wohld get back to him He finally told her never mind. This was Friday the 15th of November in the AM. She was talking to another women in what seemed a non business conversation. We checked in at 4PM on Wed and the women in the reception area was very cordial and helpful(not the same person described above) The room was great. Loved the fireplace and the nice robes The bathroom was roomy and the shower was great. Great views from the little patio. Loved the tasting room for theTooth and Nail winery The young man working there was very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed our spemt there.

Easy check in with a link texted to me for my info. Bathrooms could use some updating but the room was nice and spacious. Loved the fireplace during the gloomy weather. A little noisy if you are on the first floor and people are above you.

Beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. Large room. Bath room was a little small, but doable. Great service. Fire place was not working, staff quickly moved us to another room just like the one we were in.

We have been vacationing at the property for several years, and a lot of things are looking pretty shabby now. The bathroom is very old and smelled like mildew. Also, the room furniture is old and broken down/non-supportive. We had to request a new refrigerator as it was falling apart as well. So not the best visit. We will be looking at other properties.

Dissatisfaction guaranteed
The hotel was in good location. It is in poor repair and run down. Dirty stained carpet in hallway. Old carpet. Dirty drapes and torn old blackout curtain in room. Very old jacuzzi tub in bathroom, old toilet - difficult to flush. Toliet kept us awake most of the night by making loud noise in the tank… we had to turn the water off to the Toliet to make it stop. We are expecting an adjustment to our bill and told manager will call us. Person at front desk could not help us at check out. Said because we used a “third party” for reservation (hotels.com). Won’t use hotels.com again either.

I went to shower and I could not turn on the water. The handle would not move in any way. So, left the hotel without a shower There was blond hair on the floor, coffee/drink splatters on the wall and "dirty" around the bathroom plug in. Very disappointed in the cleanliness. I complained at the front desk when checking out and was promised a call from the manager......which I never received.
