The room the rebranding they did was nice however the birds seagulls were disgusting and noisy squawking birds all night on this side of the coastline.
The hotel staff and not being transparent about fees and holds due when going on the trip they changed it from 50$ to 100$ hold.
Staff, location and the feeling of being home. This is our 5th year at Cottage Inn. Views are excellent and location is great. Love falling asleep to the waves. Thanks Cottage Inn
We Couldn't stay longer
Nice location close to the beach and had good views.
The two front windows besides the door do not line up and can't be locked. Safety is important to me so I would not stay there again because that makes me feel uncomfortable at night knowing someone could come into my room.
The location is great, the views are beautiful. I like having a pool and hot tub. I even like that they don't have housekeeping services everyday.
not that I can think of.
The views and the outdoors seating areas!
The bed. Needs to be replaced
Location was great
No housekeeping , you had to ask 24 hours in advance( was not communicated well) , not enough trash cans in room,. Lighting was poor. Had to request coffee for the room, not automatically furnished. Not a friendly vibe. They added $50.00 for incidentials
Location
Did notice a black bug and was unable to turn off ceiling fan. Minor things
The fire pits overlooking the ocean were awesome. It was so fun having smore kits offered for sale at the front desk. We enjoyed roasting and making stores and then going over to the jacuzzi. Also loves the fireplace in the room.
Everything was great no complaints.
Quaint design of hotel. Property located right on cliff overlooking ocean. Fantastic view! Fire pits outside are great! Location of hotel is just enough away from the city center/tourist area so it's super quiet. Really a fantastic deal! Comfortable room.
Wish I could have stayed longer!
The location was perfect! Close enough to Cal Poly, easy highway accessibility. And a beautiful view of the ocean!
Fireplace inside
They close down the fire pits way too early and the carpets need cleaning
Located on the beach. Friendly staff
The heated pool
10 dollars to park per night
I was able to hear cars driving by all night
Friendly desk and bistro staff
