“All the wayfrom Wasco California spend 2 nights here. For my half marathon. Clean, comfty beds, great service and got to love the location. Yes I would definitely recommend it and once im back i will reserve a room here.”
“Place is very old fashioned but nice/clean and cant beat the price. In a good location off pacific grove. Been there over 7 times and enjoy it. Just need to add fans rooms get stuffy and a small fridge for my medications. Will be returning just came back from there nov 2 2025. Will be back soon”
“Great spot right along the bay. Perfect for sitting out watching the sunrise and sunsets. Best part, you’ll more than likely see some seals sunbathing and otters frolicking in the bay. The staff and was fantastic and extremely nice. I’d highly recommend staying there.”
“So far, so good. We checked in yesterday. Will be checking out tomorrow. I want to stay longer. The view from the front of the hotel is amazing. Even if you get a room in the back, it isn't much of a walk to see the front. Next time we come, I want a room on that side where I can hear the ocean more and sit on the balcony watching the waves. We have a baby, and they were very accommodating with giving us a room with a bathtub. She enjoyed the soak after a long day of exploring. The man checking us in was super friendly. We got to town a couple hours earlier than expected, but our room was ready, so he let us check in and get unpacked early. Having a baby in tow, I really appreciated being able to have that extra time to unwind after driving, instead of having to go explore while the room was getting ready, or we hit the magical check in time. Booking the room, I had read the other reviews about it being a no frills place. While that is true, the service, price, location, and comfort are unparalleled. Sure, they don't have an in room coffee maker, but let's be honest, who drinks that swill anyway. They have coffee, hot coco, and tea in the office in the morning. Sure, they don't have breakfast options in the hotel, but there are many great dining options nearby, and the money saved on staying here makes dining out more affordable anyway. The "frills" they lack don't really matter when the room is comfy, clean, and located right next to everything we came here to do. I'm extremely happy I chose to book here, and this will be our go to hotel for all our trips to the coast.”
