The views from the room were breathtaking. The dry sauna and hot tub overlooking the ocean was a huge plus! The staff in the office were so friendly and helpful! Definitely staying here again

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities

I don't know where they got the picture posted on Expedia for this place but I saw nothing that looked like them. The place is tired and old. The staff was very friendly and I have nothing bad to say about them. The carpet was old, the furniture was old and the room kind of smelled like cat pee.

There was water leakage in the shower area and discoloration on the linoleum. A reddish discoloration indicative of mold. The deck was locked off because it seemed to have issues. This was a disappointing since the sunset from that deck was something we were looking forward to. Other than these maintenance issues it was a nice room and the location is excellent

The staff was great, and the view from our room and balcony were fantastic. Very nice sauna and ocean view spa tub. The hotel itself needs some maintenance and upgrades. The handle on the sliding glass door was broken and the door itself didn’t slide - it required force to open and close. Neither of the showerheads on the (probably once fancy) dual showerhead shower/bathtub combination worked properly. Also, the walls are embarrassingly thin. I learned things about the proclivities of my hotel “neighbors” I could have done without knowing. Our sleep was negatively affected by the people who stayed up late and the others who got up early with most noise we shouldn’t have been able to hear: the opening of luggage, ice going into a glass, etc. We woke up early and exhausted. Two of the three walking distance restaurants offered one star food at five star prices - one of them taking an hour and ten minutes to serve us fatty chicken thighs and cold sides, the other dishing up undercooked sausage patties and “quiche” that was lower quality than frozen grocery store fare. The best thing we had was cheesy garlic sticks from the pizza place, which we got after our disappointing dinner. Come for the friendly staff, in-room spa and beautiful view - but bring your own food, and earplugs.

Simy and his staff were just perfect from the time we checked in until we checked out 6 days later. No words are available to describe the beauty of Shelter Cove, CA. We had two days of sunshine while the last 4 days were cloudy, but that did not matter. Shelter Cove and The Inn at Lost Coast was heaven on earth. With our window open every night, we were able to hear the majestic Pacific Ocean from our room. We celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary during this stay and was treated to a complimentary bottle of bubbly from the staff. Highly recommend The Inn at Lost Coast and the village of Shelter Cove.

We love the stars at night with our view. We have stayed a couple times now and each room is unique. The beaches are nearby. I suggest bring your shade umbrella for the black sands beach. The Venezuelan food across from our room might have been good had anyone that worked there acknowledged us upon entering and waiting about five minutes. No biggie. We ended up with pizza. It’s okay! The bar chairs in the rooms need reupholstering. The lady at the desk is very sweet and very kind. Love the vibe.
