Great, quiet place to stay

It’s walking distance from a lot of parks and nice view points. We went to the aquarium which was only 5 minutes from there. We would stay again!

We stayed here two nights on a family road trip with 2 adults and 2 teens. The space is smallish but worked for our needs. We appreciated the location — easy to everywhere we wanted to visit. The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom with nice a clean. The room lighting was extremely bright so be aware of that if you’re sensitive to that sort of thing. Overall we had a great stay!

Charming

Quite a charming, well kept 2-story motel with window boxes planted with geraniums. Comfortable room and bed. Bathroom was nicely upgraded, but the floor of the shower could use some cove molding. Breakfast was minimal at best; no bagels, no bananas, not even juice of any kind. If not for the breakfast I would have given this place 5-stars.

We loved this sweet, quaint inn. The owners were absolutely lovely and sweet. We were very comfortable and LOVED the big shower. The bed was a perfect firmness and we slept great. The boxes of flowers on the porch were so pretty! The breakfast was great to grab as we headed out. Close to downtown but far enough to be quiet and peaceful! Thank you!

The waffle maker was a hit with the kids! We loved the staff, so helpful and kind. The rooms were just there for us to sleep, so the size worked well for a family of 5, we even added a cot for a minimal fee and it worked out for us. It is quaint area and parking was right in front of the door. We loved that it was close to everything! We were able to do a lot in 2 days! We had a great time and planning on returning soon!

Stinky Shower Drain & Moldy Bread

When turning on hot water for the shower (as you do) the drain in the shower STANK. It smelled like garbage on a hot day. The drain is in dire need of cleaning please do remedy that- when I shower I want to relax not literally gag from the stench. My second issue is that the white bread put out for the breakfast literally had mold on it. How do you manage to put out and serve moldy bread? Otherwise, bedding and towels were clean. Bed was comfy. Checking in and out was easy. The location is convenient for visiting nearby beaches, Monterey, and Carmel. Easy walk to the beach from the hotel.
