Even though I had read many of the reviews about the Lighthouse Inn before reserving a room, I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Besides, it was a busy summer weekend, and I couldn't find another room available. ~ When I arrived, the man and woman on staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating to my needs, and I was pleased with the reception. The lobby, although a little cluttered, was homey and comfortable. There was definitely a vintage look that I actually appreciate, however, when I got to my room, I definitely did the "Oh, my!" type of thing. From the door, I could see the dust bunnies under the bed and the strings of extension cords giving power to everything in the room. As I walked across the floor, I could feel the grittiness of sand with every step making it slippery and unsettling. There appeared to be a nice, thick layer of dust on every flat surface, and it looked like everything could use a deep cleaning. Even though I loved the vintage green tile in the shower stall, I was put off by the thick deposit of sand in all four corners. Uhg! ~ The bed was actually very comfortable, and even though my room was merely feet from Hwy 101, I was surprised how quiet it was, and I never heard a single peep from anyone else either beside or above me.
