Spyglass Inn
Property is nice enough. Rooms were actually pretty nice and bed was super comfy. Room was not ready at check-in time. There were several of us not able to check in on time. They also charge for parking which is always a turn off for me. They own the lot, no one uses it for beach access. Why charge ...
