I really needed a relaxing getaway and chose this hotel because it was dog friendly. I'd chosen a non-ocean view room for the quiet rather than being up front by the highway. I was surprised to see the construction going on when I arrived and made mention of it. Reception said it was only in that building. Then they gave me a room with construction going on right outside the door, and it was at the front of the property with all the street noise. I asked to be moved but they said there were no rooms to move me to. The noise from the construction guys right outside my door kept setting my dog off. Front desk said "oh, they'll be done soon.' They weren't. Coffee supplies were inadequate, tub wouldn't drain. 2 hours later, guys were still outside door and window, I took pup and went to visit friends. Dog wasn't happy to return to the room and noises throughout the night of traffic, engines, doors banging set him off throughout the night. I followed the rules and didn't leave dog in my room even to go get breakfast, when i had him tied outside the breakfast area, front desk came and said he'd had noise complaints. I just wanted to get a cup of coffee and to drive home...early.

I liked the location of the property and the breakfast that is included. The front desk staff were great and helpful. I feel that the $28 amenity fee is a little high for people who don't take advantage of all the amenities. Maybe separate the wine tasting into a separate fee? The room could use some work. It would have been nice to have a chair to sit in versus the bed. The AC unit is very loud at night and you can hear people in the next room. The bathroom needed repairs the caulking around the tub was almost completely gone and looked liked black mold in the crevices and around the safety bar. There were obvious signs of water damage that were poorly fixed. For the price per night you would think the bathroom would be in better condition.

I did not think the actual property looked like the beautiful pics online! Very misleading..The inn was just old and the room was smelly, small and had a dirty cheap area rug under the bed. I canceled my 2nd night reservation and still waiting my refund for the 2nd night. The front desk gentleman and lady were most accommodating to my needs the entire time and he even comp'd the amenties fee$25 and parking fee $30 for night! Too high and only option..there is no such thing as ocean view here! A joke. Open up the window curtain and you across the street from a stinky beach! Just disappointed as my honey and i was there to celebrate v day! So it was after 8pm. I had drove 2 hrs mostly in rain and we ended up staying the one night and moved on to Chumash Casino. Now much more upscale hotel!..

Great, fun location
Pros:Location, room, nice included breakfast.
Cons:Resort fee should be optional. I had 2 days of 10 hour classes, no way I was using bikes, etc.
Location:Many resteraunts within walking distance. Fun to watch the people going by on the waterfront.
Great location and very pleasant staff, and I had a great room. My only complaint is the added costs when you get there. There was a $25 per day resort fee that I assumed was optional since I was never asked about it and didn't use the services. It was on my bill and I was told it was for everyone. There is also a $30 per day parking fee. These 2 charges made the stay much more expensive than anticipated.
