The hotel is located 11 km from Hearst Castle, a 15-minute drive from San Luis Obispo County wineries, and 3.2 km from the Fiscalini Hiking Ranch. The property is a family-owned boutique hotel with 27 rooms, set among towering pines along Scenic Coast Highway 1.

Oceanfront rooms include binoculars and bathrobes, with select rooms offering a spa bath, a patio, or a balcony. The hotel provides free parking on-site and a hot tub on the outdoor patio area.
Dining & Breakfast
A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning, featuring pastries from Linn's Restaurant, yogurt, cereal, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, and coffee from SLO. The hotel offers afternoon cookies at check-in and a bottle of wine in oceanfront rooms upon arrival. Guests can walk to the Sea Chest Oyster Bar, a cash-only seafood restaurant next door, or explore local dining options within walking distance.

“The direct oceanfront setting is undoubtedly the draw, offering immediate access to coastal walks and the soothing sounds of the surf. Rooms here are surprisingly spacious and well-appointed, often featuring fireplaces that add a welcome touch of coziness. Breakfast, while simple, is perfectly adequate, and the overall atmosphere is one of relaxed comfort, making it a solid choice for a Highway 1 escape.”
