The hotel was clean, nice, and overall I had a good experience. However, our room was right next to the laundry room, and the noise was quite loud, especially when we were trying to rest. I would recommend assigning quieter rooms to guests when possible.
Loved the views, closeness to the ocean, and privacy and spaciousness of the 2 bedroom cottage. Wished the TV was able to connect to our streaming apps though.
But overall it was a great stay!
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.
Nice and clean, staff was nice and I lived that the food place next door delivered to our room

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
It must have been a motel 6 painted white inside n out is the main property -we had a standard room king
it looked like the ocean view rooms detached from main- were great
no access to sand below
no privacy
reception and departure were no f’s given - staff was minimal and flat and unenthusiastic
toilet seat was designed for 350 pound person
dont fall in!
bed was a bit lumpy
noisy upstairs neighbors
door molding not tight therefore allowing bugs in
kinda boring
the restaurant next door was great
We really enjoyed our stay there, we actually brought our 🐶🐕 pets and it was enjoyable.
The Seacrest hotel is next door and is a great stay as well
It was also convenient to have a restaurant next door
I would definitely recommend staying at any of the spacious cottages
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.
The room was very clean, well appointed. I got a room with corner windows with a great view of the waves, beach, and sunset. Great location. Courteous staff. Will stay again.
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.
Check in staff was so friendly, professional, and thorough. Room was amazing! Exceptionally clean and amenities were perfect! The entire hounds were so clean, spacious and very comfortable! We will be back!
