Yes it was in good condition maybe a bit dated but i think this is the motel vintage style. Staff was great and helpful. For the price in that popular area I really can not complain. Walking distance to golden bridge and palace of fine art.

Perfect location. The place is cozy, clean, and modern. It’s close to the ocean, and you can hear the waves from the room. Parking is right by the units. I appreciated having a fridge and microwave. Everything was well kept. I’ll stay here again whenever I’m in between places in Central California. No AC. They did have a ceiling fan.

Property was rundown, moldy, rusted and dusty. If you have respiratory issues don’t stay here. The AC/Heat unit is filthy. The fan doesn’t work. There was dirt and hair on the floor and clean towels. I brought the issues up to the property manager on duty. He couldn’t care less. Save your money stay elsewhere.
