Love the view
Our room was clean and pretty spacious. I loved how we stepped outside of our room and the view of the ocean was right there 😊 Beautiful view

Very poor service. Front desk was not friendly. First day we spent 45 minutes getting room keys and the key card wouldn’t work and we had to go back and forth with hr front desk with a 3 month old.
Curtains and towels were stained
They did not clean our rooms despite requiring room service.

Ok
Decent place to stay, no frills, partial views of the ocean, access to the coastline and right off the main road. For the price, I would pick something nicer, but it felt safe and it was clean.

A wonderful stay
We really enjoyed our stay at the Spyglass. The front office staff was very welcoming and even let me borrow a wine bottle opener so that I could drink wine I purchased in edna Valley. Our room was very welcoming and comfortable. We enjoyed the partial ocean view from our room balcony. We enjoyed sitting at the fire pit in the evening as we enjoyed our wine.Overall, our stay was very enjoyable. Lastly, I love its proximity to the highway which made it easy to travel north and south.

Quick couple getaway
This was a one night stay for my wife and I! Elizabeth at the front desk was outstanding! The property is in an excellent location. My only complaint is that the rooms are in major need of renovation.

It is a nice property and in a good location. One minor issue I had though was that they booked someone right next to our room. That’s usually not a big deal but the hotel was pretty empty. There’s no way they were over 50% occupied. The people next to us checked in late and with shared walls it was a little loud for a bit, thankfully they were quiet through the night. It would have been nice for both of us if they would’ve just separated us a bit. Didn’t look like it would have been a problem..

It’s old and the top floor squeaks. We were downstairs and had a hard time sleeping with all the noise
