6/10 Good

Great location, needs some attention.

The location is great! The rooms are clean and comfortable. Front desk staff seemed friendly. However, though I had booked 2 rooms with breakfast included on the hotels.com website, the front desk said as we had booked through Hotels.com, they would need to charge extra for breakfast ($15 per head). This was a huge inconvenience for us as we traveled with kids and didn't want to step out in the morning looking for breakfast. One of the rooms we stayed in didn't have a lock on the bathroom door and didn't have a shower curtain or door for the shower stall - which caused a bit of a mess.

Great location (cross from Moonstone trail). The room was clean & updated. Front desk crew were very friendly. You pick your breakfast the night before and they deliver it to your room in a basket following morning. Very cute gesture. We will definitely go back.

We loved everything about the Sea Otter Inn. The picnic basket breakfast delivery was adorable and the food was just as good! I think the only negative thing I could say about it is that the bed we had was a bit uncomfortable.

This is an excellent property at a reasonable price. The location next to breathtaking coastal views is what these hotels offer. We really liked the shower at this one. Free parking. Everything was great.

It was so peaceful and charming. I highly recommend if you need a retreat from your busy life. Across the street is the most beautiful ocean views and walk path. I took three walks a day.
