One of the more updated motels I've stayed in. It was clean and had all the basics. A little further away from the main part of town but an easy couple of mins drive to get there. Close to the Aradale ghost tour and Montara winery.

Not Clean

Can not believe this was rated on hotels as a 9.4. I understand it is a 2-3 star hotel. Expectations were low. But to have carpet that is so dirty, a bed were your feet are up higher than your head.. I hardly slept, I felt uncomfortably the whole time.
