The beds are hard and rather uncomfortable and there is no means in the room to make a hot drink which was the first in our month long trip. A bit shabby too, so expensive for the standard provided.

Old but clean

It’s old but clean, typical California hotel near the beach parking was a bit tight. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

Charming with a perfect location

We love this place. It’s charming and spotless with an amazing location. The service is very friendly and there are many additional amenities in the lobby that you can choose to bring back to the room. It’s a gem and we would love to come back.

The motel staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming, and so willing help out with things that will make our stay better--offering a microwave or coffeemaker, or tableware. We much appreciated this.

Room was clean and comfortable. It’s not a trendy, recently renovated type of place if that’s what you’re looking for, but it’s in a great location at a great price! Every worker we interacted with was kind and helpful. No complaints whatsoever!

It’s adorable and affordable. It matches the pictures. We booked a suite over a week for myself and my adult daughter. It was perfect size of a one bedroom apartment, functional kitchen and great open space with lots of sunlight. It’s walkable to restaurants, boutique shops and the beach.
