This was a lovely, quiet stay for my daughter and I which is just what we needed. The ocean is right across the street, restaurant on site, laundry service available, and a little store as well. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The seating area around the pool is well maintained and surrounded by lawn. Beautiful grounds and good parking. We will definitely be back.

Very nice roadside motel. Clean, friendly staff, good location. Restaurant not a focal point but good choices not far away. Not overly walkable to other spots except very walkable to beach front. If you get a semi noisy group in room near you can be hard. First days were great then a loud family w stomping kids running back and forth changed the dynamic greatly. Not horrible but much less relaxed beach vibe. I spent week sleeping in to the sound of the ocean and enjoyed it.

Husband and I decided on a last minute overnight getaway. This was a delightful place to stay. Wonderful staff, very friendly. We watched the 49er game in the bar restaurant. Food was wonderful, service was great. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from our room. Rooms are a bit dated but still very clean. Pillows were kind of small, but the bed was comfy and clean. Would definitely stay here again.
