We loved the quiet and the beautiful views and boardwalk! As for the room, like other reviews have stated, it was a bit dated with peeling wallpaper and dim lighting...that all kind of fit the mood of the property which is very outdoorsy and naturalist. The beds were just fine. Things to know that we didn't know...there is no refrigerator to keep drinks cold and there is no TV in the room. All in all, it was a beautiful setting and I would stay here again and bring a cooler to keep drinks cold.

Very rustic. It was like traveling back in time. The room and facility reminded me of an old college dorm in the mountains. No phone. No microwave. No refrigerator. No television. No coffee maker. Original wood floors. Many room features looked original. Nostalgic.

Overall, good. But, the walls are so thin and the noise from the hallway and next door was just unbearable. The front desk staff was OK, could be even friendlier.

Asilomar stole my deposit at checkout. I made my reservation a year ago and paid a $273 deposit then. At checkout, they told me that Expedia kept my deposit. I didn’t make my reservation through Expedia. Now I have to fight this through my credit card company.

The '70s vintage room interior was nice amd the Craftsman design of the lodge and dining hall were impressive. This is the second time I've visited in a year and both bathrooms were in need of maintenance, particularly moldy caulk in the baths and rusty sink fixtures. Our sliding door to the porch had broken locks and there was a stick to secure the door closed.

Asilomar means “refuge by the sea” and that it is! I stayed with my 4 kids. The room was spacious for us. We were able to request a fridge which helped with meals (although they have options onsite). The wildlife all around was beautiful and added to the peaceful and serene feeling. Also the walk to the beach is convenient and awesome. Loved our stay so much!!

There was a poor internet connection in the room (the only option was at the reception area), no TV, and no coffee machine. The sound isolation is terrible in the room, you can hear your neighbors like they are in your room (especially if they are with kids).
