The property is beginning to show its age. Although, clean and cozy, it still needs a mid level renovation. The rooms are stuck in the 70s Pismo fashion.

Great location, friendly staff and best sleep ever

A one day stop after dropping of my son at UCLA for a break from the long drive home. Staff was very helpful and friendly and I felt very welcomed. Offered suggestions for different restaurant options. The biggest plus for me was how quiet it was whether the walls and floors were well insulated or I was just lucky, but I had the best sleep in a hotel EVER!

The check in was quick and easy, though I was disappointed in the 10$ a night parking fee. The beds were too soft for our liking but otherwise the rooms were comfortable and clean. I would book again for our next trip.
