Based on other reviews I had read prior to our stay, I was expecting the manager to provide a cold welcome, but it was just the opposite - he (and his son?) were very welcoming and also polite as we were leaving. The room was as expected, nothing fancy, but did the job, especially for under $100 per night - shower pressure was great, bed was relatively comfortable, parking right next to your room, walkable to some restaurants nearby, although the walls were pretty thin, so it really depends on who you get as a neighbor. Overall pretty good.

This is our second stay at this property. It’s an older style motel with older style type of furniture that is kept in good condition. The flooring & bathroom has been updated to a more current style. Our room, the linens & the towels were all clean & fresh. The mattress was thinner than most mattresses, but surprisingly comfortable. We slept very well. We appreciated the amenities of having a mini refrigerator, microwave & the coffee maker. The owners were the same as the last time we were there about 3 years ago. They both are professional & friendly. We will be back.

Lots of noise. Pickup trucks coming and going. A couple of 20 year olds loitering outside in the parking lot. Police cars came on 5th street to talk to a guy with their lights flashing. Just not a place I would stay at again. This is my second visit. Not good.

You get what you pay for. Not the cleanest, and some things don’t work, but those things can be overlooked for the price. Not a family vacation spot, but a place to sleep for a night.

"Harry", the proprietor, is a really nice guy. The place is quiet and well located in Grover Beach. Only problem is the heating unit comes on very loud and intermittently throughout the night. They are nice enough to provide ear plugs, but a quieter unit or one where you could leave the fan always on would be better. Nice property and good people, though.
