Coast Riders Inn is the older property, but has been renovated and remodels few years ago with comfortable bed. The room was super clean, probably one of the best cleaned model rooms that I've stayed in my life. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back in the future.

The husband and wife owners were lovely and gracious. They had just installed a Tesla charger and let me try it for free as a test case. They gave us cookies and a little toy car when we arrived and had fresh free croissants and other types of bread, fruit, oatmeal and coffee in the morning. The stay was super stress free and easy. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the really poor water pressure in the shower. But I'm California there isn't a ton they can do about that.

My stay was great. Clean room, friendly staff, quick response with concern. The bed frame was making loud popping noises when I moved on the bed. I reported it, they fixed the problem right away. I slept great with no noise from the bed.
