"It's too old; the paint on the toilet bowl is peeling. The bathtub is also very old, I don't even dare to take a shower, and the price is not worth it at all, it's unreasonable."
"It was basic, but clean. Kids loved the pool. Walking distance to a few restaurants, which was convenient. Right across the street from the Noyo Headlands, great for watching sunsets. Breakfast was basic but did the job. Coffee was weak, that could use help. Dining area got pretty crowded. All the staff were very friendly. Would stay here again."
"The room is everything that you expect from the description. There were no discrepancies. The excellent part is the location. There’s lots to do and see in the local area. It’s a nice place to stay for a coastal getaway."
