The staff on check in and check out are very friendly and made it a breeze. The lobby area is very nice and several guests and families chose of it to be their nightly hangout area playing cards and board games. The rooms are quiet with comfortable beds. There is on site free parking behind the hotel that makes if convenient and easy to get to your vehicle. They have free rentals on bikes and paddle boards for easy access to the bay and surrounding areas. This was a nice remodeled motel that adds modern touches to an old school charm.

Odd thing, but they charge an extra fee for amenities. Pool, coffee and such. Although, they asked what they could do better while we were on our way out, when we voiced our displeasure about the separate amenities charge they waived it. That was pretty awesome

SCP is a renovated older property. They did a great job with the lobby. Rooms were clean, A/C was nosy and you could hear the other guest walking by through the bathroom windiw. Staff was the best part of your property. They were full of Aloha. Sorry to say I probably wouldn’t stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The lobby, common areas, and amenities are fabulous. The room is very average, but was certainly sufficient for our needs. As a family with two adults and two teenagers, we appreciated the room with three beds. We really enjoyed the pool and the standup paddle boards. Also enjoyed the complimentary coffee, which was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay at SCP. We are a young family of four and we felt very welcomed from the beginning. Amanda the night front desk host was very nice and we saw her the next night too. And even though it was 12am she was still very friendly and welcoming. We loved the amenities; the stand up paddle board we borrowed for a few hours for two days, the pool, the different areas to relax in. I think my favorite was the open hotel lobby. We highly recommend!
