"The hotel was nice our room was perfect for us. A bedroom & living room area. It was all great. What we didn’t like was having to pay for parking. You don’t do it inside it’s really just a huge pain. Then we got a ticket on our car saying we didn’t pay. Not sure why they charge a parking fee. It’s kinda rude really. There is coffee in the room but I never know how clean it is so my husband got us coffee downstairs. They charged $4 dollars for a cup of coffee! Most hotels just have it...

"This is overall a great place to stay right at the beach and across from the Boardwalk. Staff is friendly. I downgraded my rating for two reasons. 1) Parking is an additional $15 per night, which for a non-urban motel seems quite steep and mostly unadvertised. 2) There is basically no maid service. They came in an emptied trash once during our 4 night stay. That’s it. I really did not mind that, although again this was mentioned at check in. Did not leave the maid a tip. "

"We drive from halfway up BC Canada down to San Diego and back up again. We stayed at some 4 star hotels and other Fairfields. This was the best all around hotel for comfort, service, cleanliness, convenient location, ease of finding it, free parking, free breakfast selection and taste. There's 24hr guest laundry access (my only complaint is that they need to have the washing machine serviced to clean it as it has a musty smell). The beds were incredibly comfortable. It's within walking distance...

"We arrived the day the area experienced a tornado. There was no power at the property when we arrived so there was no way to reach the property to get any sort of status update. We ended up going to another hotel for the night. We were able to check in the following day. Overall, the property was clean, room was large, and parking was free. My only gripe was that no refund for the first night was even offered or suggested until I asked for it even though I mentioned I had to get another hotel...

Lovely on site hiking trails and close to Ano Nuevo State Park for seal viewing. Good restaurant on the grounds too. "
