Great Value & Ambience

I have stayed here dozens of times over the years and love being on the ocean bluff listening to, and watching, the waves, and the birdlife (especially the pelicans). When you compare the cost of a room here versus in town, it is a great value - and the drive to and from SLO is beautiful and easy.
