From the outside it looks like most motels in many small towns in CA - regular. But never judge a book by its cover! The room was clean, the bathroom was also clean and modernized considering the age of the building. Overall it was a pleasant surprise to stay at this motel. Also, its location is within walking distance to a bunch of downtown stores, eateries and the like. If the need arises again in the future we would stay at this motel.

Good accommodation.

We had a comfortable stay in a quite place, very close walk to the restaurants and shops down the beach area. No AC but cold at night and was able to open the window for ventilation.

Stayed a night, clean room, bathroom, everything was excellent. No Air conditioning as was already informed, kept 1st floor windows open for fresh air. Surprised to see a huge walk-in closet with doors removed. Toilet tank valve leaks draining water all the time so had to turn off supply at night to stop hearing the sound all night. Parking is limited and a hopeless vacationer had parked over the lines occupying two spots. All restaurants at the marina are walkable. Overall wonderful stay.

Clean!

Clean hotel. Some room features were somewhat dated, but it was very clean. No tub, just a shower. Happy with the housekeeping after our 1st night of a 2 night stay! Will stay here again!

- I accidentally booked with an expired card, totally my mistake. However, they called at 8AM to tell me I only had three hours to call back with a different card number or my booking would be cancelled. I had a late night the night before and was trying to get some sleep before our long road trip that day, isn’t the general rule of thumb to not call until 9AM? Again, totally my mistake in providing the wrong card number, but I selected that I would be paying at the property, why did I need to be woken up in the morning to give a new card number? It’s not like I would have been able to get to the room without paying, and their check in is at 4PM. They also called back again shortly after because they got the card number I gave them wrong, and the lady acted like it was my fault for saying my number too fast. - the check in process was weird. I just told them my name and they gave me the room keys. They didn’t even ask to see my ID and I didn’t sign anything? Very odd. - the location was great! - the rooms were fine. Small and not especially modern, but adequate. - uncomfortable beds and thin walls, we could hear our room neighbors talking and running the TV, we were even woken up by a vibrating cell phone from next door! - aggressive signs in the room saying they’ll charge if you stain a towel and charging for a late check-out, it felt a little aggressive and excessive.

Absolutely loved my birthday trip to this magical place. From the moment I arrived to my last day, the staff greeted me first day. They even send me a message in case I arrive late with instructions how to get my keys. This can easily say was the best treatment I have ever received. The hotel exceeded my expectations, thank you so much. Strongly recommend it, and I will be back.
