Room was nice, large and clean. It looked out over greenery and not the road, which was pleasant, since some of the rooms were overlooking the parking lot. Great location, walking distance to Moonstone Beach and Cambria eateries. Housekeeping available on 3rd day of stay and by appointment, which we didn't know. The lady at the desk was nice and brought us fresh towels. No restaurant (except decent grab n go breakfast), basic "spa" with steam room and jacuzzi and not many staff people around. El Colibri is nice for a night or two while driving Highway 1 but not for long term stays.

Room was just fine. Staff was a bit surly and not helpful. Breakfast was a JOKE. They advertise free breakfast that starts at 6:30 am. It was never out before 7:30 am, no yogurt, just plain cereal and milk and yucky packaged "pastries".

The hotel was in a very central location, and while the amenities weren't quite what we are accustomed to, the staff was wonderful, and we would stay again just because they made us feel like family.

This hotel is loud! I heard a loud television from the room above me for hours - until after midnight , said something to the front desk before the attendant left at 9pm and nothing changed. I could also hear everything with the laminate flooring, footsteps, people talking, etc. bathrooms outdated and a weird tub in the middle of the room with no privacy. It was clean but an intense smell of artificial cleaning supplies and scent.

Unfortunately i would not be able to provide a stellar review because 1. The heater was not working properly , 2. Water pressure of the shower was weak and hot water was lukewarm , 3. The grab and go breakfast options were limited in options and quantities ( It seemed that ownership is very frugal and not service oriented) ; gear toward business instead of family, 4. Weekend staff were not friendly and helpful. We asked for hot water at 7 pm ( they said coffee and hot water available until 9 pm) and they said they run out and did not offer / make effort to brew more, 5 Housekeeping staff only took out the trash and add towels He did sweep or make the beds. I don't think the price reflect the services provided. I don't understand how the hotel has high ratings in Yelp and Expedia.

Room was fine just a little dated, nice touch with the whirpool bath though. Standard coffee machine, view was better than the front bit nothing special. Nice bathroom, quiet corridors. Spa was very limited but functional. Great spot for long distance drivers, not a place for a romantic weekend away.

Our stay was for one night. I would stay here again. The amenities were great, like the steam room and jacuzzi. We checked in on a Sunday, and both areas were empty and extra nice to use privately. I was surprised by the breakfast, I was expecting a little more, but we ended up getting full with bagels and the hard boiled eggs they had. There was tea and coffee as well, although the hot water ran out twice during our stay, so we just asked the staff for more and they were SUPER friendly and replenished the tea area. They also had some packaged sweet bread. The parking is underground and there is an elevator which makes it super convenient. The room was nice and clean, bed comfortable, and enough towels provided in room. I look forward to booking again!

Fireplace was great. Room was very nice and cozy ! The only small complain was the wifi wasn't good, maybe because we were in a corner room. There were no closet or ironing board. Iron was there. At the front desk area the wifi was good. Other than that the stay was awesome !
