Travelled with group
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The high temp was 61 degrees. There was no heat source in the rooms. We were given a space heater. The rooms were not very clean like stains in carpet, bugs in window jams, and junk stored in closet; nor were the outside areas very pleasant which had spider webs and dead plants all around. Plus: convenient to water front and shopping. I would NOT pay to stay again.

Staff was welcoming, and check-in was easy. The hotel is right across from Morro Rock and we had a great view from our room. It is possible to walk to great restuants and Morro Rock from the property. There was plenty of parking avaliable. Room was no thrills but comfortable. It was possible to hear some noise from other rooms- conversations and the murmer of the TV.

There was no ice machine, no microwave. The owner was rude and disrespectful. Overall, the only good thing about the place was that moral Bay Rock was right across the street. And the surrounding businesses were wonderful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I loves the ease of parking and the location. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure was good. Everything, as expected for the area, was older and not kept up as well as it should be. You could hear everything from outside and the rooms nearby, but luckily it's at the end, closer to the water, so there is less noise than other areas may have. The owner was sweet and takes great care of the plants and courtyard area. I love how easy he made late check-in. It is walking distance from food, shopping, and charters for fishing. Unfortunately late at night there were very loud people drinking in the parking lot, and because it's a dog friendly place there was some additional noise from dogs. Overall, I would stay there again if I needed to be in the area, I just wish the amenities were a little better.

Cute little motel! I really enjoyed its location near a lot of restaurants, cafes and the ocean. The front desk was friendly and helpful. The room was small but the bed mattress was fantastic and I got a lot of rest.
