We stayed in the "Harmony" building. The room was very nice, almost luxurious, with two queen sized beds, a big TV and a deck with a Jacuzzi. The tiny bathroom, however, was straight out of a Motel 6, including a one-piece plastic bathtup/shower. We were on the ground floor, so when the people above us came in it sounded like a herd of elephants. This was at midnight, so take my advice and ask for a room on the second floor -- better to be the herd of elephants than to hear them. BTW you should know that this mineral springs is a sulphur springs, so there is a strong odor of sulphur everywhere. If you haven't experienced that odor just imagine an entire football team, four hours after a giant Mexican dinner. In summation, the place has a long way to go to be a luxury resort but if you can enjoy it for what it is, then go there.

We received a gift certificate to Sycamore. The first time we went was 2 years ago, and didn't care for the heavy sulfur smell of the hot tubs....but this time was absolutely fantastic. We stayed in "Joyful," the area across the footbridge. The room was absolutely beautiful and clean, esp. the bathroom. We loved the built-in chess board (with glass pieces), were delighted with the gas fireplace, the 4-poster bed (huge), and the huge flat panel in the bedroom. The only complaint we had was the frumpy uncomfortable hide-a-bed couch in the living room. How could this be overlooked?

The hot tub had fresh water (no smell), with a gorgeous view of the stars. We had the feeling of utmost privacy. Down the path was an added bonus...the Dan Jones trail. We thoroughly enjoyed bird and reptile watching...what an immaculate area, no litter, no loud voices...just really nice folks on bikes and on foot.

We took advantage of the spa (facial and massage), and found it to be pretty nice, although pricey. An added bonus is a trip to the hot tub before treatment, be sure you arrive there in time to take advantage, we only had 10 minutes.

We found this to be a very restful, relaxing and sensual getaway. It may take a while to get a golf cart to pick you up, so you may choose to walk your suitcases back for checkout.

I had an unforgettable time at this hotel back in 2005. It was my first trip with my wife-to-be, and this honeymoon preview took us up and down Highway 1 in California. Somewhere along the way, we stopped at this lovely San Luis Obispo hotel. We had a great, great time. The mineral water bath with an added bottle of californian Zinfandel was out of this world. I wish I had stayed longer, since we arrived at night, and as we woke up we realized there was a lovely swimming pool, and we hardly had time to try it. This is one place I'd love to come back to.

I've been coming here for the last 5 years or so. Still a beautiful part of California's central coast. But, the resort is getting too pricey ( $80 for room service: Ceaser salad and a bowl of seafood stew - !!!??!! ), relative to what they offer. The rooms need renovation - for sure. The place is still "acceptable" and the staff is great, but it's not the jewel that it used to be...
