Stayed in room 411. Negatives: Room smelled musty (or moldy); there were bugs in the bathroom. The bed was nothing special; the pillows were cheap.Could hear every step the people upstairs took and when they flushed the toilet. Positives: the patio was nice, the grounds beautiful and the restrauant was very nice (although pricey). The staff also answered our questions and was nice to deal with. The only way I would stay again is to pony up the extra $$ for a better room. Guess you get what you pay for!!

Nice place but crammed full of bus loads of geezers on way to Hearst Castle. Paper thin walls and doors. Can hear conversations on the balcony entry. Couldn't sleep beyond 6 when the bus riders screamed to each other about where to leave their luggage for pick up and who was having breakfast with whom. Shame that the management doesn't monitor the noise because it is a decent motel. Second time I have stayed here and it will be the last time.

This hotel/lodge is nestled in some very well maintained and interesting gardens. The less expensive rooms are nothing too special, but the larger ones are nice. The staff was very helpful, and when we had some noises in the morning, they moved us to a better room the next night while they investigated. The pool is well maintained and clean. The walk to Cambria down the path was interesting, but don't try it with a stroller (it is a stariway, not a path!) The Kitchen garden where they grow organic food for the restaurant was very nice to see. The complimentary breakfast was very good, plenty to eat, and not just rolls and coffee, a full buffet breakfast. A littel pricey, but a better deal than the beach front hotels/motels.

They have the most beautiful garden area... Went for a wedding, great place for that. Great buffet breakfast, thank you. Used the pool and spa, nice and clean. Only complaint would be, nice volleyball court but no ball. We would have enjoyed that. Would stay again, for sure....

Very quaint atmosphere, entertainment in lodge, great breakfast buffet, beautiful setting, romantic, will visit again!
