Perfect location. The place is cozy, clean, and modern. It’s close to the ocean, and you can hear the waves from the room. Parking is right by the units. I appreciated having a fridge and microwave. Everything was well kept. I’ll stay here again whenever I’m in between places in Central California. No AC. They did have a ceiling fan.

Property was rundown, moldy, rusted and dusty. If you have respiratory issues don’t stay here. The AC/Heat unit is filthy. The fan doesn’t work. There was dirt and hair on the floor and clean towels. I brought the issues up to the property manager on duty. He couldn’t care less. Save your money stay elsewhere.

Decent motel close to the Fisherman's Wharf area. (Short drive) We found no problem with the key working. Just be patient with it. Checked in at 3 so we had a selection of parking spots to choose from. Be careful if showering as the tile can be slippery.

Parking was fine.Have had passed experience staying here and was always easy in/easy out,but this time wasn’t the same.checked in early like usual-Rooms not available yet but always pay and take care of parking permits so when I come back late night all I need to do is pick up key to a room.guy in office gave me a hard time for about twenty minutes before giving me my key and that’s the last thing I need at 1am,especially since I need to be back at work by 10 am
