Air conditioner worked well great location nice for walking. Great fire pits. Wish you could see the view of the ocean more from the fire pit but still a good spot.
Great staff and location. The property is linked to 3 or 4 other properties that has a great walkway with a great view of the ocean. Also great area for dogs.
The AC unit was quiet and effective. We enjoyed breakfast on the outside patio of the adjoining restaurant Westerly at Shell Beach and recommend eating there.
Loved the greenscape and flowers rooms older but clean the restaurants walking distance very good. I totally enjoyed my stay from fireplace in room to firepit outside and smores at checking for purchase. Great mini vacation spot
Our stay was wonderful! The staff was great and the rooms were super clean and comfortable. The location itself is amazing with beautiful ocean views and a great place to relax. We were able to walk down to the beach and enjoy the outdoor bonfire. The rooms are super clean and the bed is great. Highly recommended this hotel.
Older property showing its age outside but interior of room was clean and well appointed. Outside asthetics were a bit disappointing as the Front building of property was under renovation but not disclosed at the time the reservation was made. Motel is in a good location on Shell Beach. FIREPITS by the bluffs were a BIG plus and are available on first come first serve basis.
The views were outstanding and I would recommend this place just for the views and location alone but the mattress and pillows were a bit lumpy and flat. The walking trail was wonderful to access the other restaurants and to get a view of the coast.
I liked the closeness to the beach. The staff at check in was friendly and helpful. I wish we had known before hand that construction was going on, parking was at a premium. The wallpaper in bathroom was peeling and the shower would drip continuously. Both were reported to front office at check out.
Great stay at Spyglass Inn overall - clean room, everything worked well, spectacular view, and a nice fireplace. The bed was super comfortable too.
Two things to know: floor-level units can be noisy since you'll hear footsteps from above (older building). Also, free WiFi is basic and slow - faster speeds cost extra per day.
Neither was a dealbreaker. Would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Amazing location, great price, but the robe hook and the toilet paper roll holder were both falling out of the wall when we arrived. It was clean but a little run down. The view and the outdoor fire pits made up for it. Would likely stay there again.
Nice room. Views are amazing. Hotel was a little loud…but that seemed typical for my trip…lots of families with kids everywhere

The room was nice,
Not quiet i thought about the refrigerator but it was something else,
Charging $10 for parking seems cheap as it was not mentioned !
Water the girl at registration told me that we had two small bottles,
But they forgot to tell that it was $5 a tiny bottle !
Put everything in the room price that will be mote accepted!
