It was a little hard to check in because we had not received the door code email. A phone call took care of the problem though. We live the room. The only other suggestion would be to wash the windows.

Sensational views and comfortable room.

This property is sensational. It's right on the shoreline. You can hear the waves pounding on the coast outside the room and the porch has an incredible view of the coast. The room was perfectly equipped and decorated. I hope to return again for personal travel.

Looks newly renovated. We hade a 1-Bedroom apartment with a fireplace and a huge bathroom. It was very nice. The kitchen was convenient because there are not many restaurant options nearby...my biggest complaint. There is a breakfast/lunch place right next door, though. Beautiful surroundings and right at the shore...heard the ocean waves crashing in the night. The sea lions were resting on the rocks about 200-300 ft away, too. This hotel is self check-in but there is 24hr phone # to reach someone, if necessary.

Simply magical! Waking up to the ocean steps away from our door was all we dreamed and more! The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The 10 am checkout was too early for us, but we’re definitely coming back!

Outstanding location, literally steps above and overlooking excellent tide pooling and a beach. The coastal flowers in between offering a perfect frame. Great coffee shop 100' south. Clean tasteful room. The lack of insight management was a first for us and present a few minor logistical challenges, the most important thing to know is that the code you're given for your room is NOT for the lockboxes in the unstaffed office. It's to be entered in the slightly finicky digital locks on each room door. Parking for a few vehicles directly on premises is possible but it's not clear who it's for (with a roof box we used a spot at the office). Numerous good restaurants nearby and the one town grocery is decently stocked. Ten minute drive from the Black Sands beach serving as the southern terminus of the Lost Coast Trail segment running 25 miles north to Mattole.

This site was uniquely beautiful. Outside our screen door were two chairs at the edge of a small cliff overlooking the rugged coastline. We lost track of how much time we spent in these chairs. We saw the high tide. We saw the low tide. We saw large hawks swoop down low just in front of us. We watched deer as they sauntered right in front of our little cliff. We watched a baby seal play in the cove for nearly an hour. The weather was cool, the sea was tumultuous. That night in our room we fell asleep the steady roar of the ocean. And...there was a lovely cafe just 70 feet from our room. Now, the bad: You might find that the site used for pre-check-in to be difficult to use. For me it was a bad experience. My photos would not upload as the site kept rejectcing them. Finally I emailed the host and we took car of the pre-check-in photos through SMS. That was easy enough. They might want to find a frienlier pre-check-in process than the one I tired using at first.

Gloomy weather but wonderful!

We didn’t realize that we had to drive so far off 101 to get to the hotel but it was well worth it. Despite the gloomy weather, the location was wonderful. There is no lobby or anyone to greet you but the check-in instructions were clear and concise. We had no problem entering our room so we did not miss the “lobby”! The room was clean and cute with very firm beds! I love a firm bed. We appreciated the coffee and the tea in the room as it was cold while we were there. Thank you for the hospitality!
