Disappointed
I reserved 3 rooms and messaged and called requesting an early check in. The person said no problem. I called the day of confirming early check in. The rooms were not ready at the agreed upon time. After the event at 10:30 when we returned the TV in my room didn’t work. I noticed the person who eventually came to office and was told there was nobody there to look at it. All in all it was disappointing.

The room was spacious and clean. We received a warm welcome on arrival. The location wasn’t the best - next to a busy road and very limited options for eateries in walking distance. It suited our purpose as an easy place to get to Point Reyes.
