We found this Motel satisfactory for our brief stay. It's nothing fancy, but our room was clean, quiet and the beds comfortable. Front desk staff cooperative. We asked for a quiet room away from the traffic and they provided it. Rates were reasonable and it's conveniently located near Hearst castle.

Sweet spot not far from anything you want to do in this area! Super friendly staff and clean room. I just wish I had more time to use the pool and spa! This is a repeated favorite place. We haven’t stayed in a long time, it’s nice to see the upgraded rooms. And you can bring your pups!
