Had a pleasant, one-night stay here this weekend. Hotel seemed largely vacant and it looked like we had the place mostly to ourselves. We were upgraded to an ocean view room (No. 252) as part of the Diamond upgrade...reasonably sized room with good amenities. The microwave seemed a bit out of place, but we really appreciated the non-Portico amenities ^ (They had Oxygen toiletries). Diamond breakfast was for $42 per room + 15% in gratuities and taxes...ours came out to ~$51 overall for in-room dining. The final bill still showed $22 in breakfast charges (presumably because my reservation probably said 1 person) but was taken off promptly when I pointed it out. Staff overall were friendly although we didnt have much interaction with them. The hotel grounds are nice and the location is quite sweet as well. Certainly a nice getaway close to home for us...the views are definitely not as great as the views from the Highlands Inn, one of our other favorite properties in Cal...but at one-fourth the rates, I am not complaining! Will definitely plan a return in the future.
