It was a great location for a wonderful weekend getaway. The staff was friendly and the service was excellent. As an African American patron of many fine establishments, I never take that for granted. Trust me, it’s a real issue. My only recommendation is, they need more EV car chargers. They were too often occupied or difficult to access.

Dear Kevin, I am so happy to hear you enjoyed. We have a wonderful team and truly appreciate you recognizing them. Please know we are having new EV charges installed! We agree with you, and have have also connected with Tesla. I look forward to your next stay, so please let us know when you plan to return.

10/10 highly recommend.
We had an amazing time. The staff are incredibly friendly, you can't beat the views and location, the amenities are pretty phenomenal and i'm pretty sure the onsite restaurant has some of the best food i've had. If you're looking for nightlife this isn't the location, however. there isn't much around open after 8 pm but that was kind of the point of us staying here. so your experience depends on what youre looking for.

They advertise on Expedia as being able to provide stow-aways. That's why I booked and drove an hour up north to the location. It was my two kids, myself and my mother. The room had two Queen beds and I needed a sofa/stow-away, SOMETHING for my mother or I. I was met by an unkempt employee at check-in who even though polite could not care less and told me I couldn't get any extra bed due to "fire hazard". I did not receive one even though advertised as being available. But to add insult to injury the clerk was as uncaring as you can get and kept telling me the only option was to get a $1,000 executive suite. I asked repeatedly if there was anything available, a room with two King beds at least or something to sleep on. But NO!. So I ended up sleeping on the floor on a few pillows under me. You can imagine how well I slept and how bad I felt the next day. This at a 4 star resort! Any place with a sense of customer-service would do something to help a customer, let alone a place that charges $400 a night.

What a wonderful escape from the Bay Area! Such a perfect stay from check in to check out. Absolutely delicious food at Drakes, the pool and jacuzzi next to the firepits were perfect for sunset. The hike at Doran Beach is spectacular. We can't wait to stay again.

We really loved the lodge. The room was wonderful and very clean. I was very disappointed in the restaurant Drake’s. The service was slow with not many options on the menu. They definitely need another bartender at the bar on the weekends. The drinks were great but they took forever to get one. It was busy and that’s why they need to get some help for the one bartender that was working. I felt bad for all the people that bartender had to take care of.
