Reviews and Ratings
I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. Although the rooms were a little outdated, they faced a beautiful garden area and a pool, each with a terrace or a balcony, which was a nice touch. The service was old-style central coast friendly, with hot cider, gourmet coffee, and plenty of helpful tourist advice. The location, while convenient with a restaurant on-site and everything within walking distance, gave me a sense of middle America rather than the expected Hawaii vibe. The dining options were basic, and the rates were on the higher side for what was offered.
The hotel has a nice location with convenient access to restaurants and stores but is a bit far from the town center. The rooms, while being a bit outdated, were well cleaned and had some minor maintenance issues. The service was friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. The dining experience was subpar with minimal breakfast options. Overall, a decent place to stay for the price, especially considering the lovely pool and garden area.
The hotel's location is amazing, within walking distance of State Street downtown and offering a beautiful and relaxing ambiance. The rooms are clean but exhibit an older décor with a strong chemical smell. The service is extremely friendly and helpful, making my stay a pleasure. The dining options are convenient, with good service but limited choices. The facilities are satisfactory, contributing to an overall pleasant stay.
The hotel has amazing potential with a great location close to everything you need, but not near the seafront. The rooms are clean and in good condition, overlooking the gardens and pool. Service is quick, friendly, and very welcoming. The dining options are helpful, although the breakfast choices could be better.
