8.4/10 Very Good! (752 reviews)
Beautify view of ocean/coast.. warning though.. there are TWO DIFFERENT HOTELS HERE.. the room description is NOT necessarily the room you actually get ! the room description stated FULL FRIDGE.. when I called to verify I was told that is the "Vacation Properties" not the main resort and that there would be a mini fridge how are you supposed to know when you book then ? so not only was there not a full fridge.. there was NO MINI FRIDGE. Also.. parking is VERY limited and you could end up driving around and around property trying to find a space and makes you not want to leave again in fear of losing a good parkign spot and hving to walk around uphills and down stairs. Be ready..

It's a nice property, nice views. I wasn't a fan of the people around us and how noisy they were. It felt like we were staying in a parking lot.

Popular places to visit

So you've just visited historic McWay Falls located in the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. Now what, you might ask. If you're ready for more adventure then get back on the Pacific Coast Highway, and continue South about 25 miles to Sand Dollar Beach. It's a climb in and out, the ground is a little unsteady, and there are a whole lot of stairs to climb, but it's worth it. Here you'll want to linger and explore. You'll find plenty of talkative sea lions catching some sun on the rocks, a few sea birds, and maybe some otters! If the weather is just right, this is a great place to swim and surf! Be sure to look closely at the rocks on the beach, as the tide brings in some amazing sea life for you to discover. #BeachBound
