My family and myself have stayed here twice and we booked the family suite . It was a great size for our family of 6. It’s also conveniently located to shops and steps away from the beach. Staff was very kind . I would definitely recommend staying central coast Inn. Shannan

We stayed in room 19. The room was clean, but the walls could use a wipe down. We had 4 people and 2 very thin, very small towels. The staff supplied us more quickly. If you have thick hair the water pressure is 10/10 for the shower. They also had a very warm blanket to use on request. There is no view of the ocean, you will need to cross the main road through town, but can get to a great beach spot in a 1 minute walk. Very easy and accessible. Location was amazing for accessing town, no need to drive at all once you park. Beds were comfortable but I was glad I had my own pillow.

We really enjoyed the stay. It was not our intended place but we stayed for the first time due to few vacancies around town and we are very happy. The room and grounds were very clean and the staff was very friendly and accomodating.

Very nice place to stay

I’ve had a lovely experience staying at this place. The place was very clean. The bed was comfortable, there were inly 3 pillows but you can request for more. The only thing that was a downside was the WiFi. It was very slow and difficult to connect to. But I had cell service so it’s not a big deal. Walk to the beach was 5 minutes and it was the highlight of my short stay.

The property was clean and fine just don't expect many amenities. I would recommend booking directly with the motel as they won't work with you on the room if you book third party such as Expedia. We had room #18 which I don't recommend and was told that there was nothing they can do about since I booked with Expedia. Having been a Travel Advisor for the past 10 years I know that's a reason they hide behind not wanting to assist in changing rooms. Not the best customer service but it fit the rest of the experience.

March get away

We have been staying here for 5 yrs now , the owners are friendly. I love the location, the rooms are clean, great parking. The only thing that needs attention is the towels, they are not white, they are old and grey looking, come on owners replace them. I started bringing my own towels from home. Maybe get new pillows they are flat and you only get 3.
