Sweet Moments at the Inn
perfect locationcomfortable roomgorgeous viewshort drive
I found the location perfect for access to shops and restaurants. I liked how quiet and comfortable the room felt. It was a short drive to Point Lobos, the views there were really gorgeous. The trails are an added bonus, they let you discover the place better.
The bathroom was smaller than I thought it would be.

I liked that the location was close to shops and restaurants. It made it easy to walk around. Staff were friendly. That was nice. I would consider staying here again.
The fridge in my room needed replacement. Liquids froze even on a medium setting. I couldn't regulate it well. the price per night seemed absurd! I think I overpaid for the room.
