Disliked: Staff & service

Very rude staff. The booking said breakfast included. When I asked front desk about it was told since I booked thru 3rd party we didn’t get breakfast.Next night went down the street and stayed at Sand Pebble Inn, booked thru 3rd party again and breakfast was included. Went up the entire coast of CA booking thru 3rd party and got breakfast at everyone one except the Sea Otter Inn. Pretty bad considering how much the room cost!!!

I like that they have a continental breakfast brought to your room every morning. They have fresh coffee in the office all day and fresh warm cookies in the afternoon. The housekeeping staff is very pleasant. The hotel is right across the street from the ocean. I wish they would keep the pool area open until 10:00
