Clean and quiet
We were there for Hearst Castle. It was nice and close and was clean and quiet. For us the only thing missing was no morning continental breakfast. Our room had a nice shower but no bath. We had coffee in our room and very restful.

Works, but....
Decent place, but not very clean, at least not my room. My coffee pot had a broken beak, and there was thick dust on ledges and on the blinds. Check in staff in was friendly and recommended local things to do. I hope they get their cleaning staff on par, and do a bit more QC, it's otherwise a decent place to explore around Hearst castle and PCH.
