The office staff was very kind! There's a great view, a nice sitting area in front of the hotel, and it's near some excellent restaurants. The rooms are uniquely and tastefully decorated, clean, and I was comfortable. It was a bit noisy at times but tolerably so. I would stay here again!

Cute little motel! I really enjoyed its location near a lot of restaurants, cafes and the ocean. The front desk was friendly and helpful. The room was small but the bed mattress was fantastic and I got a lot of rest.

Staff was welcoming, and check-in was easy. The hotel is right across from Morro Rock and we had a great view from our room. It is possible to walk to great restuants and Morro Rock from the property. There was plenty of parking avaliable. Room was no thrills but comfortable. It was possible to hear some noise from other rooms- conversations and the murmer of the TV.

My stay was an alright experience overall. The manager was very nice and friendly, and check-in was easy and quick. The manager also gave us a guest parking pass, which allowed us to park anywhere, and we received free cinnamon bun rolls from Frankie and Lola’s Front Street Café next door — I definitely recommend eating there for breakfast! The room itself was decent but could use some updates. We noticed damage to the wall, cracked shower tiles, a small hole under the bathroom mirror, and a broken restroom door handle. The AC and fan were also dusty. The rooms are not soundproof, so we could hear conversations from other guests. The bed was very uncomfortable. That said, the room felt cozy, and I understand the quality given that the price was cheap. The hotel’s location was a big plus — it’s within walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants, so we were able to walk instead of drive. Overall, it’s a 50/50 experience. I might stay again, mainly for the location and price.

We enjoyed our stay overnight. It was very convenient with plenty of parking. Very walkable to restaurants and the pier. They have a cute little patio and lounge area right in front where you can relax and observe all the comings and goings. Our room was on the ground floor next to the amenities/stock room and there were a lot of flies that seemed to have disappeared the next morning. Overall it was a pleasant stay.
