This place is hidden gem. The rooms are clean, online check in is easy and fast, they have codes for the rooms, so no need to go in and register. Staying in a working Harbor is exciting. Watching boats go in and out, the fog horn in the background, everything you need right there within walking distance! My first stay was 10 years ago, I try my best to stay here everytime I visit Fort Bragg CA.

Nice to stay on the Noyo and watch boats. There was a barking dog in the room next to us. I texted management about where to park since there is a restaurant here as well. No replies.

Clean. I wanted a low-cost motel, but I was a little afraid of how grungy some of them can be. It ended up being quite clean. Good for the price we paid.

A unique room located on a pier in Noyo Harbor. Yes, it's dated and the walls are paper thin. But the location. Watching Sea Lions. Boats cruising by your balcony. Deer on the opposite shore. It was overcast on our trip but I've seen spectacular sunsets from the harbor. You hear the occasional chair upstairs in the restaurant. But it closes at 8. (and closed on Wednesdays) Room was clean. Beds were comfy. Leave the door open at night and enjoy the sea breeze with the distant foghorn. The property was sold early July 2025 and plans are to close and rebuild it. Hopefully this will be successful as it's such a cool location.

Self check in is a bust. If you arrive and there is an issue with your 4th email that has your confirmation number to the door, there is no front desk as advertised. Tv also comes off and on like clock work every 15 minutes. Had to find a maintenance man who literally just moves the bad cable box from one room to the other.

This place was right out of the 40s. The price was right, the room was very clean and centrally located in Noyo Harbor. I would. totally come back here again.

Quaint, funky, old motel on the waterfront of a picturesque working seaport. Clean rooms. Excellent value. The vibe here is great. If you want an upscale spa/resort experience, this isn’t for you. But if you value a real life immersion in a local coastal culture, the sights and sounds of commercial maritime, and a cool little beach you can walk to - then this place is gold…
