Nice Ocean Breeze

The room was just fine. Nothing spectacular. There isn’t a real ocean view anywhere but the breeze is nice. Beds we comfortable. The hotel is not close to any food so you will have to drive. Bring your own coffee. No elevator so you will climb steps. Everyone who works there is extremely kind and helpful.

This place is perfect for a weekend getaway. I wish there was more parking available when the motel is at full capacity, but still I would definitely come back. I appreciate the front desk's responsiveness and flexibility in allowing me to check-in late.

Checkin was easy. We even got a message regarding a possible power outage. Which did not effect us. Walkable to the beach and amazing restaurants. Was perfect for our one night stay. There are no elevators which was stated in the description of the Hotel. That was not a problem for us at all. The water pressure for the shower was not great but it did have a nice temperature for all 4 of our family to have a nice warm shower. I would recommend for a short beach trip.

Pros: Room is very Clean Bed was confortable Close to restaurants and grocery store Staff are friendly and helpful Cons: Room was noisy both from traffic on the PCH and upstairs guests stomping around in their room above. Not pedestrian friendly due to a lack of sidewalks in immediate vicinity of the hotel.

My trip was over the course of 3 days. The hotel is dated, and wasn't what I would consider to be clean. The lady at the front desk was nice. There aren't safety locks on the door, which I found concerning. There was just a basic lock on the door, which could have been unlocked with a key. The room had a moldy smell, which I did inform the front desk of.
