People smoking blows in the rooms and make them permanently stink and you can't enjoy slider doors open. Thin walls so you hear everything. Makes the property hard to enjoy.

Noice party going on outside my door

There was a party going on at 6pm ish when we got there. The catered birthday party was next to the swimming pool and right outside our door. There was loud music and at 830pm I hear what I thought was firecrackers and no that was not it, but someone from the party popping the balloon birthday arch, one after another, pop pop pop. I asked at 7 if it was going to end soon and was told oh yea they r done now. That was not the truth.

Lovely location, a well kept older motel, yes it needs some work, but you can see they are making improvements and maintaining things. The restaurant prices are high, but comparable with the local restaurants. Check in was fast and flawless, Luis at the front desk was very professional and friendly.

Motel. The bed was dirty upon arrival( just sand by the pilllows) and bathroom was old. Possible staying on second floor would help the room air and feel more comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend staying here myself but if you’re okay with staying in a motel then this was fine.

Nice Location and Property

Nice place, well maintained and clean, comfortable beds. Has tables outside room so you can sit and look at the beach. Amenities super close by as well as bar and restaurant, and beach access right across the road in easy walking distance. Pretty quiet at night, though the place was mostly empty when we were there. Would stay again, just wish they didn't charge so much for the dogs! ($25 for each dog is a bit much!)

Beautiful view. Rooms were pretty decent. Wish it had a microwave. Restaurant food is alright but I’d suggest Big Sur cafe down the street. They have a killer happy hour from 4-6 pm. I was very satisfied here.
