Great Vacation!
Amazing experience! We didnt want to go home. So roomy and comfortable. It is older, but very well maintained. The view was top notch, with big wrap around windows. Good location. Will definitely be back.

We stayed at EL a couple of decades ago and have fond memories. This time they put us in the "new" section. i give it a 4-star because of the killer wall to wall view. We got the kitchenette which was helpful. They accommodated our 'ground floor' request. There is not daily maid service, and they want you to wash all your dishes.. that's fine, but how do i know the washed dishes are sanitized? Bathrm small. But most dangerous is the step-in into the room is so high and uneven, my husband who walks w/ a cane tripped and fell badly. And i tripped on it 2x The tradeoff between 'old' section and 'new' section is the old is pet friendly. I think I'd try there next time.

The view was fantastic, the room smells of cigarette smoke. The hallway to the room was dirty. The property was not kept up. It’s very bland property not much landscaping. However I didn’t let that bother the peace and serenity that I was feeling with the amazing view . It was worth it to me just for the view.

Amazing view and spacious
This hotel is a bit dated, but I do like it's location, size of the room and amenities. We were a party of 4 and got a pet friendly cottage. Had a full kitchen and patio area where we put out chairs to watch the sunset. Really beautiful location.

Won't go again
It is an older place. It was spotlessly clean but only one chair at the kitchen table. Two chairs in living area, no couch. Bathroom was extremely small and no service to room, no clean towels etc. It was a beautiful view
