4 reviews for Pillar Point Inn
It was a nice place to stay this past weekend since we were there for the Pumpkin Festival. The room was well decorated and conformable, the breakfast was excellent as well as the home made cookies. I do have the same complaints as a few of the others. The street noise and the bloody foghorn. Overall it was a 4 star experience and one I would do again.
This Inn was centrally located in Princeton-by-the-Sea but that location was the cause of the awful street noise all day and night. I like to have the windows open to feel the cool ocean air and hear the distant foghorn but the cars and drunken tourists were very loud. At a number of times during the evening a car with some form of super bass went by and set off car alarms because of the vibration. The rooms are nice, bed was very comfortable and Mel was a great host. Breakfast was delicious and the fresh baked cookies and fruit were a very nice touch. The rooms had mini refrigerators to store drinks and such. The bathrooms could definitely use some upgrading from the avocado green tubs. My advice..bring ear plugs.
I really wish that I could give 4.5 stars here. It was very close to a perfect anniversary weekend with a romantic room and prime location. Melody was a gracious hostess and breakfast was hearty and delicious. This had all the hallmarkings of a great inn. Nice comfortable bed, great spacious corner room, ultra clean bathroom and Direct TV link. I read somewhere that it had been recently renovated and it shows. The only issue was that it got a bit noisy at night and this maybe due to the July 4th weekend activity. What drove me crazy was the fog horn that the edge of the harbour going off every ten seconds. It was at the periphery of my hearing but it still bothered me when attempting to sleep early. Maybe I'll knock it up to 5 stars after my next visit or someone else will rate it at 5 and it averages out to 4.5. Please?

We enjoyed our stay. The place doesn't look like much from the outside, especially compared to its neighbor, the Oceano. On the inside, though, the place was great. The room was very attractively and romantically decorated, comfortable and spacious, and the indoor gas fire made it cozy. It's within walking distance of several nice restaurants. The innkeeper was friendly, too. Downsides: although it views the ocean, it directly overlooks the marina--no lapping beaches, etc., just a bunch of boats bounded by rocks. Also, there's a horn that sounds off in the distance every few seconds all day and night--the noise is faint but enough to be bothersome if you're a light sleeper. Aside from those few slight issues, we were charmed by Pillar Point Inn and would easily recommend it. No breakfast menu--host made egg/tomato casserole (ok) with sausage and homemade banana bread (quite good). Also, the host offered fresh baked brownies which were very good.
