A slight misunderstanding on my part regarding the complimentary items was clarified by staff. I apologise for being slightly misleading in my checkin review on this matter. Everything was pretty good.

Perfectly acceptable but there's no way this is a 4-star hotel, I would give it at 3. I would stay further west on the island if I were to go again, most of the attractions are quite a drive away.

The Restriction on eating in the restaurant was limiting as my husband and I like to share an entree and main meal but this was not permitted as we each had to order a seperate main meal which I found difficult to understand how a restaurant can tell you how you have to order.

no hot water for the shower. very basic configuration. The room I booked was supposed to have a "bay view" but most of the view was covered by trees. There is not much of a view for charging extra.

Beautiful area. Great view of bay. Most staff outstanding. Only exception - male staff person at desk Friday evening was checking us out early as we were leaving before desk opened Sat AM. Tour leader for large group arrived, and rather than finish checking us out, he had the nerve to ask us to come back later after he finished with group. Fortunately, the visiting tour guide had some manners and sensibility and told him to finish with us first.

Very clean and easy check in/check out. Room was well sized and beds super comfy. Restaurants here were also the only place open for dinner in American River on some weeknights in the off season, so handy to be staying on site.

Liked: Amenities
our room was nice and roomy. excellent bed and the room was well appointed with mini kitchen, charging pads for phones and huge TV. The view of the ocean was wonderful. It is in a remote area so we had long drives to go see activities. Food at the hotel was limited and the breakfast was expensive for what was available and was not great!.They encourage not getting the room serviced but did not say what to do with the rubbish that built up over 4 days.
