The office person had difficulty understanding me when I asked a question about the room or property, but that was a very minor issue. The other staff were all super-friendly and helpful. Room was clean, and sufficient for our needs. Would have appreciated a vent in the kitchenette, as without one we triggered the smoke & heat alarm while cooking. I took the hotplate outside to finish cooking to resolve the smoke detector issue.

Ocean Crest Motel is the cleanest motel I have ever stayed in. The attention to small details is wonderful. You will find yourself noticing these details throughout your stay. The girl at check-in was professional and friendly. I would highly recommend.
