設施老舊,離開101太遠,需要40分鐘才能到達,不能沿海岸線繼續南下,衹能説可以不被打擾,回到塵世有點兒難。

Amazing location. Scary as hell road in and out. Room was nice. Communication with management was horrible. Shades in room we're broken and in some cases missing.

Mediocre at best Hotel is mediocre, towels and linens are extremely cheap. The upstairs rooms do have a gorgeous ocean view. Paid for a King suite with Ocean view and hot tub. After checking in room did not have a hot tub, called manger and was notified that there’s only 2 rooms have hot tubs and those two were occupied. Had to explain that we should receive a refund since we paid extra and apparently they just book rooms that don’t exist. Restaurant downstairs is the best part about the hotel.

This inn is beautiful and the oceanfront room was amazing. There aren’t many amenities and the internet was slow but the sights made up for it and after you go through that treacherous drive to get there it is nice to have a quiet place to rest. The bed was somewhat comfortable. The water pressure wasn’t great. There was one restaurant open the afternoon we arrived so there want much of a choice. The cafe attached to the inn had pretty good breakfast. I would stay there again.

The view to the ocean was world class. For 350+ per night, it would be nice for the balcony door to slide easily; maybe clean the bird poop splatters off the windows; and get improve the wifi situation so guests can use the TV and check their phones. I know this is a remote place, but the cafe downstairs has solid wifi 24/7 . We wished we had checked their password!

What a View! What a view! This hotel is not new and not perfect in terms of decor, but the price was great and the proximity to the water and the views were amazing. The cafe has really good food as well.

5-star experience in a 3.5-star property Shelter Cove is an absolute GEM, WAY off the beaten path. The hotel is in a prime location with beautiful views and direct access to black sands beaches, tide pools and even a lighthouse! The hotel is still being renovated, so it's not perfect. But the staff is helpful and the location is wonderful.

Made a reservation for a king bed with an ocean view and a jetted tub. Arrived to a Room on the ground, with no ocean view and no tub. It was unacceptable! Called the property manager and had to complain in order to get a room closer to what I reserved. It still didn’t have a jetted tub, I was told that’s all they had. They also sent me the door opening codes to two other guests rooms along with their room numbers. Room issues: leaky fridge, electric sounds/humming throughout the night, uncomfortable Bed, no jetted tub. Extremely slow wi-fi, streaming/devices were interrupted throughout stay. Management didn’t respond about making things right. Just charged me and didn’t respond to my feedback.
