We loved this cute little motel! They thought of every detail. The pool was very well heated and they even had cute little personal propane fires you could relax by. We arrived late and they set up ice and a bag of popcorn in our room. And the beds and sheets were very comfortable! The only negative was that the walls were pretty thin. But they provided ear plugs and I slept great all night. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting.

THE Best!
Stayed in room #5 and it was hands down the best place to stay. The room was clean and the entire set up was superior. The room had 2 water bottles, coffee and hot chocolate, it had popcorn and a microwave and cups for usbto use. They also left us ice in a small igloo! The bathroom was spotless! I would definitely suggest for you to stay here. I will definitely stay there again!

Awesome Place
This is our second stay at this inn. We love the privacy, the decor, the friendliness of the staff and the location. A nice walk to the beach, restaurants and easy access to Hwy 101. We will be back on our next trip through central CA.

Property was updated, cute and clean. Staff very helpful. A little road noise, but nothing that would prevent me from staying again. Ear plugs were available if you felt you needed. I thought that was very considerate. Loved having mini fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. To go coffee cups a nice thought for guests too. Pre filled ice bucket, cheese cutting board and wine glasses a nice touch too.

Perfect and Charming
We were pleasantly surprised by the expertly renovated and modernized rooms. As close to the highway as the Inn was it was amazingly quiet at night. The grounds were immaculate and the pool was private and comfortable. A perfect stay and the price was very reasonable. We will be back!

Very Cozy and Clean
Very clean and cozy. The decor is very beautiful and small touches like mints and very fluffy towels made all the difference. Shower was better than my own at home.
