I was pleasantly surprised how nice this adorable boutique-like hotel is. The hotel, room, spa area are all exceptionally lean (and I'm very picky) and the bedding is very comfortable. They had a great guitar singer in the bar area and the staff were very friendly. I'd definitely stay here again!!

It was brave, but I took my entire family here for new years. 6 toddlers, in-laws, adults...i was expecting a disaster. Somehow it all went great. And the hotel was the reason. It is in our favorite location, there was great music, and new years was filled with champagne and food. The owner was there and she was nice to us. One caution is that the room with the king and queen is right above the noise, so don't get it if you want sleep during the nights they have entertainment. Otherwise, I highly recommend. Not the most kid friendly, but the breakfast made up for it.

This hotel is well situated on Moonstone Beach Drive. The room was large and well appointed, including a fireplace. The staff was friendly and informative regarding the area and local restaurants and sites. The breakfast was more than ample and located in a very inviting area.
We didn't get a chance to use the spa but it looked like it would be something we might enjoy the next time.

We stayed at this hotel for one night after traveling through the area, visiting the Hearst Castle, etc. I was very nervous because of the other reviews but it looked like the nicest hotel in the area. It was totally fine! It is a very boutique-y hotel - there was not a lot of staff so don't expect help with your luggage - but the rooms were very nice, clean and well appointed. It is in a great location, you can't see the ocean from the hotel but you just walk outside onto a boardwalk and you're there in about 2 minutes. I think i met the manager/owner that everyone is talking about and while he wasn't effusive or warm, he did provide us with the information we were looking for. I think he's just not a people person, which is a shame considering his occupation - but for one night it was just right!
