Clean. I wanted a low-cost motel, but I was a little afraid of how grungy some of them can be. It ended up being quite clean. Good for the price we paid.

This place is hidden gem. The rooms are clean, online check in is easy and fast, they have codes for the rooms, so no need to go in and register. Staying in a working Harbor is exciting. Watching boats go in and out, the fog horn in the background, everything you need right there within walking distance! My first stay was 10 years ago, I try my best to stay here everytime I visit Fort Bragg CA.

Amazing view

The harbor view room was amazing got to see sea otters and a seal. Lovely view of the sunset. Not to noisy considering the restaurant above the room. Would definitely come back. Plus the restaurant has a dog menu and outdoor seating to enjoy dinner with pups!

The location is what you’re paying for, the hotel itself is very rustic and dated, not charming enough to make up for the lack of frills. Our room had ants around the bathroom sink, there wasn’t a microwave, the walls were thin, and the plumbing was loud. The service was horrible, who closes a hotel office at 4pm… seriously? We were sent the pin to enter our room, but they never sent us the room number. If you’re just looking for a place to crash for the night this would be perfect for a cheap couple or traveler. 2/5 - would not recommend

Lovely Stay!

The location is charming. The room was small but perfectly fine though I don't recommend the bottom floor as anyone above or even the room next to it can be heard singing and dancing and tapping, walking, flushing. It was a little hard to sleep but the beds are REALLY comfy, there are blankets in there just hunt a little. I would go back as long as I get an upstairs unit :) I had trouble finding how to check in and a lovely man let me know how and then called to see if I got in and they are right across the road at the restaurant so that is nice.

Quaint, funky, old motel on the waterfront of a picturesque working seaport. Clean rooms. Excellent value. The vibe here is great. If you want an upscale spa/resort experience, this isn’t for you. But if you value a real life immersion in a local coastal culture, the sights and sounds of commercial maritime, and a cool little beach you can walk to - then this place is gold…
