It’s a great location and a decent motel. But parking is very challenging even with a pass. Overall, I’d consider staying here again - clean and friendly.

Hair in the bed and no heat.

The hotel is very charming and I was excited to stay here. However, the rooms have no heat and it gets cold at night on the ocean. They provide a small, very loud electrical space heater. I was very uncomfortable sleeping with it running. My bed had A LOT of long black hair in it. I fell asleep on top of the covers and got into bed sometime during the night. I woke up in a mess of someone’s hair. There was the same hair next to the bathtub. I checked out and paid my bill. Once the bill was settled I showed a handful of hair to the manager at the desk. Without looking up he replied “sorry that happened; thank you for letting us know” His complete disinterest in the situation makes me believe this is a common complaint. If I was the manager, I would have been mortified. Don’t stay here. Spend a few dollars more for a clean bed and heat. You deserve better than what this motel can offer you.

The location is great. Because it's dog friendly, the room had a bit of smell to it. I'm not sure about the cleanliness of the sheets/pillow cases.

BEWARE!! DO NOT RENT HERE! They have only 10 parking spaces- if you dont get there early enough- when you get there they will tell you that you have to go find public parking and walk back!! Even at 2a.m. youre trying to find parking! They will charge you anyway!! Problems with the lights/breakers...unreasonable management. Just beware- they just want your money.

Nice and clean hotel. Very close to everything. Get the parking for $29 on the premises, much more convenient than looking around. Walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, want Monica Pier.

The location is extremely close to the beach and peir. The bathroom could use updating. The bathtub had some damage and the faucet was kinda broken. The day bed was not comfortable. When I told them at the front desk they thanked me for letting them know. The other beds were very comfortable and the room was very clean. I thought it was a little pricey but I guess the location is everything. Staff was very nice. Overall good stay.
