Highlights

Location: Home base for exploring the central Californian coast

Rooms: Spacious Deluxe Three Queen with Fireplace

Conference Center: State-of-the-art presentation technology

Dining: Black Bear Diner serving all-American comfort food

“With its proximity to the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the hotel positions itself as a practical base for exploring the region. I noted the full-service Black Bear Diner on-site, suggesting a convenient dining option, though reports of upkeep issues around the pool area give me pause. It strikes me as a property with potential, particularly for accommodating business gatherings, but one that might need a more consistent approach to maintenance.”
