For us the openness of the room worked well. Loved looking out the big window right at a grove of Redwoods. We were amazed that just a few steps down the road was a wonderful trail thru the Redwoods with people overhead. We took amazing pictures! The conference center right off the trail had a wonderful coffee shop with great white chocolate and raspberry cookies and a gift shop with lots of great books. We rode the train just minutes away. Can not beat the location and hope to return someday. David was very quick to take care of any of our needs. Thank you David!
