Hotels near Shell Beach

"Three night trip up north coast and Check-in was smooth, and the front desk staff member was welcoming. We reserved a family room for four at nearly $540 per night. Bringing our 9 lb dog added another $150, plus a resort fee that was supposed to cover amenities like the gym, coffee, and pastries. However, when we went for coffee at 9 a.m., we were told it ended at 8 a.m., which felt intentionally cheap. We ended up paying another $30 for three coffees at the bar, where the service was unfriendly. The room was cramped, with a large table taking up valuable space. While the beds were comfortable, the room was not clean. Thick cobwebs covered the ceiling corners, and with the low ceilings, they were very noticeable. The bathroom amenities were minimal with the pre bottled soap. No extras another cheap sign. The shower bottles sat on a flimsy shelf that cut my son’s hand, and the open shower design left the entire bathroom floor wet. Robes were provided, but no slippers, making the cold floor uncomfortable. On the plus side, the room had a small deck with a beautiful view. Dining service was pleasant, and the bartender was kind, though the food was average. Dogs aren’t allowed in the dining room but are allowed in the lobby, which felt odd considering the dining room was sparse and not unlike a basic cafeteria feel. Overall, the grounds are nice, but the lack of cleanliness and paying over $700 a night was not worth it. Cannot recommend, sadly."

"What a gem! If you want to getaway to decompress, this is it. Showed up early, checked in, grabbed a Rose’ and headed to the enjoy the ocean view. Sat for 15 mins and then saw a very large whale breach about two miles off shore. What a beginning. We had a room with a hot tub. Incredible to sit in the tub at night, hear the ocean and see so many stars, including satellites and the space station fly over. They also had a BBQ on the terrace outside the room, no reason to leave! Tough to ask for anything more….. Room, hot tube, BBQ all very clean upon arrival! "

"Nice spot in Gyserville "

"Pictures included a continental breakfast which was not available. Coffee only served. Pool and hot tub out of order with 100 degree temperatures. Very low quality, uncomfortable beds in room. No accommodations for infants. "

"Fantastic deck"

"Friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, a great view even from ground-level rooms."

"The room was tiny, not the same as the pictures. TV was tiny. No room to move or open a suitcase. Not worth the money! "

"We booked a classic single but wanted kitchenette so we were upgraded to the studio cottage with kitchenette for the same price. Then when we got there they upgraded us again to a double room with kitchenette at the same price. Room was clean nicely decorated and so close to wineries and a short drive to camping and ocean access. Staff was helpful and friendly. The only thing I can say slightly negative is a neighbor has peacocks and was surprised how loud they were at 3:00am. All in all a great place "

"Such a wonderful Property! Gorgeous landscaping, the room was huge and perfectly decorated, we were in the Sea Urchin room and really really enjoyed our stay!! Super quiet and serene atmosphere…"
