The property was exactly as advertised. No frills and clean, with all the basic amenities. The staff was kind and attentive and made the stay enjoyable for me and my dog.. With only a 5 minute walk to an epic beach, I will stay here again when I am in the area. Very satisfied.

The hallway light at night made the room too lit. The curtains weren’t effective. This was the only complaint. Everything else was great.

The hotel is 5-10 min walk to the Oceano beach, so if you want to be near Sand dunes or just the beach, it’s a good place. Our room faced highway 1 , so we can definitely hear all the cars , but we stayed during the week so it wasn’t that bad . The only two things I would say can be better is the bathroom fan (very loud), and the blankets were super thin. There should be extra blankets because the room is cold , and while there is a heater it makes the room too stuffy. I think adding warm blankets or improving thermo isolation will help. The room is very clean and has fridge and microwave , shower water hot. Staff is very nice!

Definitely a diamond in the rough. Came to hit the dunes and enjoy the beach so we only really slept in the room. The staff was courteous, the room was clean, and we got what we expected. Big thanks for accommodating a downstairs room!

Some glitches with the physical facility, as they were coming out of a major remodeling (lock did not work on first room, etc.) but staff was very friendly and helpful and took care of any problems. We really enjoyed our stay.

Check in was a breeze with Josh. They’ve done a great job remodeling very comfortable mattress, but the pillows were too soft. It was quiet at night, but road traffic woke me up in the morning because our room was in the front overall it was a great experience.
