This is a magical property to stay at. The grounds are so beautiful and 5 min walk to a white sand beach. It's like you're clamping in Tahoe but while on the beach! 10/10!!

No TV, no in room coffee maker, no fridge. Well used rooms with a bit of a musty smell. Probably time for new carpet or at least for Embers, but it was a nice, quiet area and it served the purpose. A place to sleep for the night. The staff that checked us in was super friendly and there was a cafe where you can get a cup of coffee.

The room smelled musty/moldy just terrible overall. The quality of the bed linen was terrible. The bed/pillows were uncomfortable at best. There were Spiderwebs & spider in the corners of the room. Power outlets were not easily accessible for electronics. The Room/Bathroom was so outdated and in need of a complete renovation. No amenities other than free WiFi, which is the only thing that I can say was good about our stay. The room was supposed to have a mini fridge, it didn’t and we had to ask for one as we had a birthday cake and other goods for our son’s birthday celebration. The first night was a horrible experience and we had to change rooms. The second night wasn’t good, just a little bit better than the first night. The place needs to be renovated inside and out. Will not stay there again.

When we entered the property to check in, there was no parking available. The receptionists were very unfriendly and not helpful when it came to questions about the area and things to do. There is no dedicated area for luggage storage and it just placed in in front of the reception desk which is not secure at all! The hotel grounds are very run down and generally not maintained well. There are is no fridge, microwave or kettle in the room. Some of the lodge rooms are upstairs with no elevator so it is difficult to take heavy luggage upstairs. It was hard to sleep at night with a constantly tapping noise outside. The only positive is that it’s next to the beach when there’s a direct boardwalk from one of the hotel parking lots.

The grounds are beautiful but My room looked was so old and tiny and dirty. The curtains were ripped up and being held together by safety pins, the bed looked like a twin sized bed. The bathroom was dirty. We didn't even stay the night. I asked the front desk to switch our room and they said they had no other available rooms but could not give me a refund either. We left 1 hour after getting there and booked a room at another hotel. I have submitted a request for refund with Expedia but still have heard back from them, it's been over a week

Asilomar is within walking distance to the most beautiful coast. For someone who wants to watch the waves and see incredible sunsets while sitting on the beach or on a bench nestled in the dunes, this is a great place to go!

It needs to renovated. There were spikes sticking up from where the carpets were pulling away from the floor. It wasn’t very clean either. There were lots of marks on the walls that looked like bugs were squashed in those spots. Carpets weren’t vacuumed well. Crumbs were on the ground when we entered the room. My son found an empty plastic bottle under one of the beds.

This is a historic property that has seen better days. Handicapped people need to be very careful about where they stay, and access to parking etc. That said, it's mostly quiet, peaceful and close to the ocean. Listening to the waves at night beats a TV any day.

Be aware that the property itself is quite dated, but that’s why we loved it. Easy access to the beach and since we had two sunny days we used the large pool! This was our first time and we will definitely be back. The walls are a bit thin and we were able to hear everyone’s movements above and beside our room, thankfully everyone went to bed around the same time we did. If we had night owl neighbors I could see this being an issue. Very quaint, quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed having our morning coffee at the lodge by the fire. Amazing ambiance.

The rooms are very outdated. It was nice to disconnect from tv and some modern conveniences. The fireplace was nice. The walls were dirty and the wallpaper coming off. There was mold in the shower. The cleaning ladies tried but couldn’t scrub it off nor use bleach because it’s a harsh chemical.

The rain was coming down in buckets. We had already registered but my guest felt that it was noisy with uninterrupted and torrential rain outside. The outcome was that we returned our baggages to the car and went home. She's also deathly afraid of the weather as the vision was that we were unable to see in front of us. Please consider allowing us to stay at the hotel in a future day when the weather would not be an obstacle.

We had a handicap unit that the shower backed up in the night and flooded bathroom and carpet. The pushbutton door opener for wheelchair exiting didn't work. Cold water faucet at sink was broken. Closet doors were off track and wouldn't slide. Very poor lodging for the price charged. We have been there many times in past years and this was worst booking ever. Don't recommend .
