The room was clean and spacious. There wasn't anyone at the property when we checked in but we were given clear information on how to access our room. The location was great and even though it's near the freeway it did not disturb our sleep. For those that may require a quieter room, there were a couple of sets of earplugs in the bedroom. I highly recommend the hotel and location. You are between Avila Beach and Pismo Beach but without the crowds. There are a few restaurabts nearby to eat that are within walking distance. We are looking to forward to returning. The only disappointment was the pool because it wasn't very clean.
