The room was clean and well maintained. I was unable to locate an iron in the room. I did not inquire with the front desk though, either. The view from the property was gorgeous. Fire pits were a great added feature, as well as the lounge chairs outside our room.

Super cute and clean renovated older motel. We had a ground floor room and there is a little noise from upstairs room but we did not mind it. The parking is close which was nice having children with us. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely staff here again!

Hidden Gem! Very clean little spot with nice rooms and terrific views. While about 1 mile from the beach, they offer free bike rentals which is a nice amenity. Plenty of parking Check in and check out is a breeze The restaurant next door Blast & Brew is convenient and offers some solid food options if you don't feel like trekking back down to the beach area. I've stayed here twice, once because it looked convenient when I was riding the PCH, and this second time intentionally because I liked it so much. Pricing here is very reasonably as well.

Loved that there was plenty of parking. Room was updated and clean. We could hear every step above us from the 2nd floor, but once they went to sleep, it was fine. Towels felt cheap, but overall, we were very happy and would stay there again.

The location was nice with a great walk down to the beach and over to the pier. The property well maintained and attractive. It's a recent renovation + modernization of an old school motel. Large room. Tight bathroom and shower. Very basic towels. No breakfast and no iron for clothes. The one condition that needs attention is to have a better sealing door system.
