Amazing location and good bang for buck

This place is clean and comfy. Bed is slightly noisy but was comfy. Service is what you’d expect in a small town. Lots to offer here. Would recommend and will stay at again. Has laundry.

Good for the price and location

This motel suited our needs and desires for being on a tighter budget! No frills older property but we had a very comfortable bed, a little fireplace and a view of the ocean! The room did smell like dog and we asked for some air freshener but never got any. Check in staff was very friendly.

I liked the location for proximity to Hearst Castle and beautiful beaches. The front desk woman was extremely kind and accommodating. The rooms open up to a nice grassy area. The room itself was a tad dingy and didn't seem super clean. Fine for the price though.

Last minute trip

Stayed here with my teen daughter, very last minute. After a long drive it was so great to get to a clean and comfortable room. The beds were cozy and the staff was friendly. Not a bunch of frills. Just clean and comfortable. We'll stay again.

My mom and I stayed here for one night during our trip along the coast. The outside appears as a typical motel, but inside, the rooms are hotel quality! Would highly recommended staying here. Very modern, clean, and safe. Balconies on each room look out into a private courtyard which would be great for kids. Across from the beach, about a 10 min walk down, so if your room is closer to the front , you can hear the waves at night. Fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, all in working order. Thanks for a great stay!
