"This is a modest hotel, and it’s modestly priced! It has a 3.5 avg rating, I just think that’s not fair. No, it’s not lovely or charming, but I didn’t pay for those things, that’s another &200 per night on the central coast. Place was clean, everything worked, staff efficient, it’s 5 star with what’s it’s trying to do and the cost."
