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!

Beware!!
Unfriendly customer service initially. Rooms weren’t ready until 5:15pm. Toilet didn’t flush, sink had a drip, pillows were horrible, hair on the bathroom floor, run down, could hear everything in the room upstairs and next to us- no insulation. Would never use this place again, nor recommend it.

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 It was old & outdated and had an odor to match.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.

Was once a YWCA camp
Pros: clean, lots of beds, large room with high ceilings, deck/balcony, pool, large window/sliding door, vintage/MCM vibe. Cons: tub wouldn't drain and maintenence never came, zero TVs, zero AC, heat wouldn't turn off, half-size pillows, saggy mattress, smelled like a nursing home and old furniture.

NOT clean
We checked in and were given room keys for a room that had not been cleaned- the sheets were all undone and there was trash on the table. We drove back to the reception and told staff, and they were unapologetic. When we got to our new room, it had been serviced by the cleaning staff but not well. There was hair in the shower and the toilet bowl had not been cleaned. There were used towels hanging on a hook in the bathroom. We will not be returning.

The grounds were clean. It was like a maze, trying to get from point A to oiint B on the grounds. The staff was friendly. The room was okay, except for the condom wrapper that the cleaning staff missed from an earlier tenant.
