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.
Location was good, John was amazing, very personable and accommodating. The view was phenomenal, housekeeping cleaned the room well.
There was a portable heater provided because there is no in room heater. The breaker tripped while getting ready the 1st day during business hours. Unfortunately it tripped again the evening of the second day at 7p after turning on the heater. We reached out in person and by phone unsuccessfully to get ahold of anyone on call for an after hour emergency. The room had no power at all so we ended up packing and paying for another hotel room elsewhere after 30 minutes of trying to reach someone.
This hotel is in a prime location just across the street from the water and on the road with all the shops and restaurants. The room was very comfortable and clean. The rooms on the second floor have a beautiful view of Morro Rock.
Stayed one night. Nice local sruff was walkable. The restaurant next door was amazing.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
