We have a very small room with good light. It’s fresh, clean and decor minimal but on trend. I LOVE the down comforter! Cant believe this simple motel uses such high end bedding. I brought my own coffee for a pour over because motels usually do t offer good branded coffee but I didn’t need to. They provide an electric kettle for hot water which I’ve never seen before. It’s also refreshing to see solar panels on the roof. They also provide locally made soaps which is also mindful and environmentally conscious, no plastic bottles. We are just so impressed. We also had some of the best fish tacos outside of Mexico while looking at the harbor downstairs in the pub. My guess of the age of this motel build was late 60’s or 70’s when the builders failed to see the harbor as a desired view so the profile of the units are directed to the street rather than the river. Only 2 units face the harbor which next time we book will ask for those units. We love the outdoor communal spaces but it’s still too cold to enjoy. Overall, this is a gem that exceeds the cost value.

A quiet little corner that deserves exploring. The Salt Hotel overlooks an active fisherman’s harbor. The sea air rejuvenates. It’s a simple room well kept and most adequate for exploring the area. Of notable mention- the attached restaurant. Although we didn’t get a chance to eat there on this trip it’s been a favorite on that coast. I’d say it’s the most authentic Cioppino you’ll find. Friendly bar hosting some interesting local characters. We will continue to visit the Salt Hotel.

Nice King room with a view of the marina. We were disappointed that the restaurant wasn’t open while we were there. (Two restaurants near each other and both closed on Wednesdays didn’t make sense to us.) We enjoyed the nearby bookstore.

The property was rundown and dirty, a very common thing in a smaller beach town but for the price, it was not very good. $677 for two nights seemed outrageous. I wish I had canceled also for that price you would think there would be Shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom nothing at all. Just a bar, it was a big party weekend for the car show so a lot of rowdy drunks raising hell throughout the night didn’t make it very easy to sleep, I won’t be coming back.

A nice area by the docks. Office was usually closed but if you needed something you had to text. The pub was not open everyday. The room was clean and had all the necessary items. I wasn't impressed with the bathroom and the ceiling lights didn't work.
