The 493-room portfolio includes the Blue Sea Lodge, San Diego; the Lighthouse Hotel, Pacifica (San Francisco); the FogCatcher Inn and the Fireside Inn, Cambria; and the Spyglass Inn and Cottage Inn by the Sea, Pismo Beach. The properties are rated Three-Diamond by the American Automobile Association.
