Top Elephant Seal Vista Point Hotel Reviews

Sands by The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"The beds, including the pillows, were very comfortable. However, the comforter, as is usually the case with comforters, was too warm, and just the sheet wasn't enough. Luckily, the wonderful ocean was lulling us to sleep just the same! Everything about the bathroom was clean & sparkling. I do think a more frequent shampooing of the carpet would be good, but this is the case just about everywhere. Parking was easy. Breakfast convenient and great. All in all, a good spot to stay!"

FogCatcher Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time, as always... this is our 3rd time staying and we always leave with a smile. We ended our Nor Cal trip here for a couple of days and it was the perfect close to our vacation. Chill and fun all in one. Beds were cozy, enjoyed the fireplace - actually used it quite a bit during our stay, and with the ocean view, it set the tone nicely. Room amenities were great with coffee available in room. We have also enjoyed the complimentary front desk snacks offered in the morning, however, this time, we were a bit bummed as there was no morning granola bars available for the 2 mornings we were there (green apples were in stock) and we went early too in hopes to catch it. They were either all wiped out very early or not stocked, which we understood, but did miss our usual routine with hot coffee or cider (which is also available at the front desk). All in all, memories were made and looking forward to the next time. Plus, our kids had a nice time too. Kids happy, we happy."
