This is not a fancy "resort" which was fine by us. Very casual and comfortable. Dog friendly and fireplaces in every room which we used both nights since it went down to the low fifties and we wanted to leave the door open to hear the ocean. Again, the restaurant is good, but not fancy. We had dinner and breakfast there. Servers were very friendly and the food was good, portions great. The resort is less than 10 minutes from Hearst Castle and the beach where the sea lions hang out. Great place to come chill, not have to get dressed up and enjoy the beautiful sights.
