Great stay and location is walking distance to stores and restaurants. Only negative part was we had a non smoking room, and other guest were smoking very close near our room. Defeats the purpose of a non-smoking room when you can still smell it in your own room.

It’s a quick stop on my long driving trip along the California coast. The place is simply, bare minimum, a clean, safe, comfortable bed.

My room was clean; so was the bathroom. The bathtub drain wouldn't stay open, which caused the water to back up. Overall, a decent room for one night.
