Room was clean, plenty spacious enough. For being an older motel, it was renovated pretty well. My only complaint was no counter space in the bathroom, but there really wasn't room for any either. Nice yard with a gas fire pit, was wonderful to sit at in the evening. Grounds are clean, check in was easy. I would stay again.

We stayed one night in room 9. The gentleman who checked us in was kind and explained their hours and how to access the WiFi. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable which is what matters most to me. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was spotless but the cleaner used had an overwhelmingly toxic odor that did not go away for several hours making it very difficult to stay and breathe that odor in the room. You should switch to an odorless cleaner. Very unpleasant.

Comfy, no frills place to enjoy the town.

Stayed here a few times now over the last ten years. Always been a great place to stay. Walking distance to a lot of the town's better restaurants and the Saloon and a short drive to Moonstone Beach and Hearst Castle. Can't recommend more if you're just looking for a clean place with a comfy bed to come back to when you're done with your local adventures.
