Good price for the dates we were there; great location for our activities. Delicious cookies in Coffee Shop. Rooms need some attention as they are old but we would stay there again!
I started to come to Asilomar Conference Grounds about 30 years ago. I’ve come to stay many times for both business and personal purposes. It is really sad to witness this wonderfully located place has been running done literally by the contractor, Aramark! Now the facility is poorly maintained. The room is dirty. The bathroom is not properly cleaned. The grouts are black in the shower tub. The knobs of drawers are missing or loose. The window screens are all broken. The water coming out of the sink faucets is ridiculous low like dripping…I wish the management improve the grounds significantly soon.

Really liked the location and retro appeal - but do keep up with housekeeping - wash windows, fix wallpapers and fix squeaking faucets.
I booked this through Expedia and paid already but after staying there, they charged me another extra $222.4. I spoke to the front desk and they briefly explained that it is a security charge and would be refunded but so far it hasn't been. This place is not ethical and upfront with what they charge. Their room is ok and don't expect excellent conditions. The shower head and tub are rusty and not in great condition, but considering it is like "camping" I didn't have high expectations. Just refund my money back!
Bed Bugs and ants! They are tenting the property due to all the pests. Well apparently they did not get to my room yet because it was full of disgusting bugs. Save yourself a lot of trouble and do not stay here!
The property grounds were beautiful but the room that we were given was so old, falling apart, and looked like it had not been renovated since the 1980's. There was no TV, no fridge, no microwave, and no in-room safe.

Leaky faucet in bathroom, pealing wall paper, rusty pipes, wood rot. Staff was very nice
Asilomar is a magnificent eelcoming place to stay near gorgeous beaches and staye parks and reserves. The history of being founded in the early 20th century as a YWCA, the first women's campgrounds adds to the pleasure of pur stay. The opposite of a generic, commercial enterprse. I loved it and will return again!
Not a great experience at all. My "room" was about 8'x10' in size (really!) and did not have A/C, a TV, a coffee maker, and didn't have one hanger in the closet. It was old & outdated and had an odor to match. The room (and halls leading to) were dark & depressing with old lighting. The windows had to be kept open for ventilation. Fire pits nearby filled the room with smoke (didnt discover this until coming back from dinner the first night). All of my clothes smelled of campfire the rest of the trip. Two exterior garbage cans at my building remained overfull all five days of my stay. Paying over $250 a night was the real insult. This room is a $59 a-night room. There are several buildings on the grounds, maybe I got the worst. Do your homework not to get stuck in one of these "classic" rooms if you need to stay here. I'm afraid I won't be back.
