Tucked away, inside an army base (be prepared to show ID and vehicle registration), the Julia Morgan, Spanish style Hacienda was an unexpected treat. Our room, Tower D, was large and well appointed, with small frig/freezer and microwave. The heaters left us a little cold, but good blankets kept us warm. (Our friends in Tower C turned down their heaters).... More

We have young children in our blended family. Knowing that the oldest child would probably love to eat dinner with a bunch of battle-dressed and armed army guys, we planned dinner-time for 5:45 PM as suggested by the mess officer. This was the main objective of our visit to The Hacienda, an old hunting lodge designed by Julia Morgan in... More

My wife and I stayed at the hacienda in June of 2010. We arrived to find no staff, no restaurant (we had been told there was a restaurant attached to the hotel), and a sink that would not drain. We ate some nibbles we found in the room only to later learn that this stuff was our continental breakfast. The... More

This was a planned stop on a bicycle ride from Paso Robles to Cambria and what a stop it was. We arrived here late on Sat afternoon of Thanksgiving weekend. With the hotel staff off duty we were able to quickly get our room keys from the key lockers with the instructions provided by the staff via email. The rooms... More

To begin with it took me a long time to find the correct phone number to make a reservation, which is (831) 386-2262. I stayed in a Cowboy room for $50, and I seemed to be the only guest in the hotel that night. The Hacienda never emailed the pass code for the key drop box to retrieve the keys... More

We checked in after the office closed for the day, got the room key from a lock-box similar to an old post office mailbox -- This was the start of a really cool visit to Fort Hunter Liggett. Luckly, we were in a room next door to the base commander's, as the outside noise level was high with pig hunters... More

This is an historic lodge in the cantonment area of Fort Hunter Liggett that is open to the public. It was designed by Julia Morgan (Hearst Castle) and built in 1933. So the building is really interesting architecturally. It is surrounded by a very nice lawn with large oaks, with tables and chairs, and has a view out over beautiful... More

What an excellent place to get away from the city. Beautiful setting, beautiful architecture, and to top it off good food. You can't beat the prices either. Although it is located on a Army reserve base it is open to civilians. If you like history this is a great place to stay. Sandy and Debbie are great hosts. Call and... More

It turns out that this on time belong to William Randolf Hurst. It was his hunting lodge. There have been many dignateries that have stayed there and hold a rich history. The accomaidations though not luxurous were simple and pleasent. The Propriorters know as Rodger and Hazel McClendon where more then gracious and gave a real sence of character to... More
