“Nice gem”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2010

Very reasonable motel, $60 total, for this coastal community on a Friday night. Lots of remodeling has been done. New tiled bathroom very nice. Fresh and colorful paint in bedroom. Could hear noise at times from people passing outside the window but no noise through walls. Nice king bed. Fridge & microwave.
What was great was they had a waffle maker along with the regular pastries and juices. Very good stop over for a budget motel. Good tip from the desk on a Thai restaurant in walking distance.

“Thank You, But No Thank You.”

Wow, where do I began? When I first got in the room, there were 3 flies and 1 huge misquito flying around that I could not get rid of. Took me 15 minutes to chase them out of a tiny room. Then, I tried to access the WiFi via my phone and couldn't get it at all. I couldn't even get to the password page, it was stuck on a blank screen all night. The room smelled like mildew and the walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors. The make-yourself-Belgium-waffles in the morning was the only highlight of my stay. AAA gives this motel a 2 diamonds rating and I think it only deserves 1. Personally, I remembered Motel 6 quality being better than this place. I got a super great deal through Priceline for my stay, but honestly, I don't think I'd go back there again.

“Disgusting....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2010

Worst location in town. You can hear people talking in every room, cars passing by, everything. The room was old and the mattress dirty. A real nightmare.

“Pleasently surprised!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2010

My husband and I did a California coast trip, we booked this hotel through hotwire and I was scared when I had read some bad reviews. So when I saw that the rooms were really clean,had fluffy pillows, and had a confortable bed, I was really glad. For a motel type room, the rooms were large and in great condition. The breakfast pancakes were also good. the only negative point was the location, it could be better, but for the price, it was great. We had a rental car anyway and nothing was more then 5-10 minutes away.

“Pass on this one”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2010

Room was small for a queen size bed, " newly renovated" left a lot to be desired. The furniture were old, the carpet was dirty. We stayed there because we had to do laundry (old machines and expensive) and could pull our car up to the room. No coffee pot. Cont. breakfast was a joke, what little was there, was cut in half!
