I stayed at Spyglass Inn with my 11 yo daughter, my cousin, and her 10 yo. The girls enjoyed the hot tub and pool and we really LOVED the fire pit area. It was so beautiful outside with the flowers, the view and walking path. We got to make smores and watch the sunset! We did have an incident with our initial room where there were a bunch of gnats or flies, but the hotel staff responded quickly and moved our room. This was a bummer because that room felt more updated and had partial ocean view. We ended up in a lower level room with a nice back patio. It wasn't as updated as the first room, but it was still nice and did what we needed it too, which was to provide us a comfortable place to sleep. The room was bug free and there was enough space for the four of us. I wouldn't say it was the best room we've ever been in but overall it was fine. There is a portable fan, wifi, small fridge, desk, and chair, drawers for clothes if needed, and a tv. The TV was terrible quality BUT who needs a tv while you're on vacation anyways lol Lastly, it was quiet for us. We had no issues with noise. They have a microwave in the lobby and some free refreshments (coffee, tea, water). You can also purchase snacks from them. We would stay again specifically for the customer service and the outside fire pit area. Also, parking was included which was very much appreciated.

This place is really expensive for what you get. They used to have a good breakfast included - but no more. The first morning they ran out of creamer first thing and it was never replaced. No coffee in the afternoon which they used to have - along with cookies and fruit. My remote wasn't working and when I tried to call the front desk I found the phone to not be working. My bill came to just under $900/2 nights per room and I had 2 of the most basic of rooms. Really wishing I got an airbnb

The rooms are small but immaculate and the location doesn’t get better than this it’s literally 20 yards from the beach and 15 yards to the pier. We park our car and there are at least 50 restaurants within walking distance we never get back into the car. Every year we have come we enjoy seeing the gray whales or humpback whales. And watching the dolphins surf with the surfers in the evening. The staff are amazing and the manager Michael is wonderful. This is our fourth trip there and we are already booked for next year

Definitely a five-star review. The location is great, next to the seaside. The room is super cozy, large and clean. There are many facilities that ordinary hotels don't have, such as microwave ovens, complete sets of tableware, etc. The decoration style is also great. The parking lot is even safer. Overall, it is a great value for money.

Every Thursday, there is FAMER MARKET, but unfortunately we bought and bought and did not catch up. Seeing the mess on the road, it must be very lively, so sorry. The location is very good, you can go to FM. But what do you say about the facilities of this hotel, in fact, it is to open a room for young Californian workers, haha! The standard room is our five-foot bed. The family is a little small and the photos look slightly larger. Family trips, recommended twin beds, don't blindly believe in the old KING SIZE, not all hotels.

My experience here was great! First, it was super clean! That’s what’s most important to everyone right? The bathrooms were so clean that the floors were shining. I was so impressed with the size of the room too. It was so spacious that it at least 3 different seating areas. The breakfast was good too. We knew it was a brown bag due to Covid but honestly it was ok because they fill up your bag with so many goodies. We didn’t use the pool but we did view it and it was also very clean and very well maintained. The front desk was very polite and helpful when I asked for suggestions for restaurants. My nephew moved to SLO and this was the reason for our trip. We’ve decided this will be our hotel every time we visit. We were very impressed.

It is a BEAUTIFUL location and the staff is super friendly. They serve a hot breakfast every morning that rivals going out to a restaurant. The pool and hot tub are nice and clean! The rooms themselves are roomy, clean & equipped with all of the latest technology. I loved my stay here and I cannot wait to come back. Each room also had a patio which my pets loved. They’re super pet-friendly and that’s hard to come by. We love The Agrarian!
