Ok stay

Because of the proximity to the beach its very damp. No air conditioning or heating and very thin walls. Its an older hotel, its comfortable and cozy but no locks on the windows and flimsy door locks made me a little uncomfortable. People running the hotel are very nice and helpful. They are the best thing about staying here.

The property is nice being right by the ocean. The pool area is odd and uninviting with the lounge chairs being outside the pool area. Except being woken up by a party happening at 1am it was a nice place.

The staff were all amazing. The small room, though dated without a microwave, was clean & comfy with a little balcony & prerry view of grassy area. I believe all rooms face pool. There is an attached dining/ bar, 500 feet from thr rooms & a small market. What was unfortunate- was the screen door, was all ripped up & broke off track ( we did a temp fix ourself for our stay, holiday weekend- shorthanded maintenance )- staff).... The food in restaurant was very good. One downside, for breakfast, on the 5th of July- they had 0 fruit! Now, this is a coastal town- 30 min from Paso Robles, an agricultural area, so that was frustrating. But then, we walked to the convenience store - next door where they had fresh apples, oranges & bananas. Idk, but - At any rate- really overall, the rest of our 2 nights ( cold, windy- 50 degree summer) was very nice. You may not get in a lot of warm sunbathing or swim time, unless cold swimming is your thing- but there are lots of walking trails a few miles down the beach.
