Deer Haven Inn
Safe, clean, quiet, comfortable, place to visit the area. Parking was right outside the door. Lush woodsy residencial neighborhood, walkable or bicycle, right beside Asilomar State Beach. 10 minute drive to Safeway and Luckys shopping centers for anything such as better coffee. Value gem. Stayed ...

Pacific Gardens Inn
Great for its price. Loved cleanness and the ready to go fire place. Lovely stuff, kind and friendly. The only thing I did not like is the carpet in the rooms which was worn out.
