The coffee maker didn’t work, the bathtub drain didn’t work. It’s a historical building,sad to see the beautiful oak interior finish carpentry, base boards, chair rail painted green. Good location. Renovations still underway. Green???? What were you thinking? Some designer thought this was a good idea. Fingers crossed that it works out.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and nicely decorated. The hot water was not as hot as it should be, could be due to the construction that’s on- going. The hotel lacks any food or drink options currently. I look forward to seeing how the hotel looks after all the remodeling and renovations are complete.

Walking in and greeted by the front desk person, she was very nice and answered all my questions! She said the hotel was undergoing renovations so I didn’t know what to expect! Entered the room and was pleasantly surprised! It was very clean and spacious! The bathroom was so nice, jacuzzi tub was amazing! Bedding and bed were comfortable and inviting! I would call this a hidden treasure along the 101!

Great hotel. Going through a renovation. Big rooms with jetted tub and separate shower. Construction started way too early, though and they would not stop the banging when asked twice! This was very frustrating and unacceptable for a weekend visit. If this had not happened they would have received excellent across the board.

A very nice hotel with huge rooms. They are under renovation, so you have to go with that. Will be beautiful when done. The only down side is the parking situation. If you get in late, you have to look for parking on the street.
