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..

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,004 reviews)
What’s great about this property is that it is right on the beach which gives it a semi private area for the guests to enjoy.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (271 reviews)
Property is new and clean. It is similar to new Holiday Inn Express. The breakfast is horrible at Stilwell. Hotel has no elevator so all guests should enjoy carrying their bags up the stairs. Not a great experience for the price.

Great hiking around the slough. Saw lots of sea birds and otters, crabs, lizards and even 3 different snakes. Trails are easy hiking and they also do kayak trips into the slough. Fun place to see nature.
