Super cute and clean renovated older motel. We had a ground floor room and there is a little noise from upstairs room but we did not mind it. The parking is close which was nice having children with us. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely staff here again!

Hidden Gem! Very clean little spot with nice rooms and terrific views. While about 1 mile from the beach, they offer free bike rentals which is a nice amenity. Plenty of parking Check in and check out is a breeze The restaurant next door Blast & Brew is convenient and offers some solid food options if you don't feel like trekking back down to the beach area. I've stayed here twice, once because it looked convenient when I was riding the PCH, and this second time intentionally because I liked it so much. Pricing here is very reasonably as well.
