“This inn charmed me with its promise of in-room breakfast service, a thoughtful touch for leisurely mornings; the ocean view rooms seem particularly special, offering a serene backdrop that elevates the stay. For those looking to explore beyond the beach, its proximity to Hearst Castle presents a compelling reason to choose this spot for a coastal escape.”
