From the outside it looks like most motels in many small towns in CA - regular. But never judge a book by its cover! The room was clean, the bathroom was also clean and modernized considering the age of the building. Overall it was a pleasant surprise to stay at this motel. Also, its location is within walking distance to a bunch of downtown stores, eateries and the like. If the need arises again in the future we would stay at this motel.

Good accommodation.

We had a comfortable stay in a quite place, very close walk to the restaurants and shops down the beach area. No AC but cold at night and was able to open the window for ventilation.

Stayed a night, clean room, bathroom, everything was excellent. No Air conditioning as was already informed, kept 1st floor windows open for fresh air. Surprised to see a huge walk-in closet with doors removed. Toilet tank valve leaks draining water all the time so had to turn off supply at night to stop hearing the sound all night. Parking is limited and a hopeless vacationer had parked over the lines occupying two spots. All restaurants at the marina are walkable. Overall wonderful stay.

Clean!

Clean hotel. Some room features were somewhat dated, but it was very clean. No tub, just a shower. Happy with the housekeeping after our 1st night of a 2 night stay! Will stay here again!

The room was filthy and the outside of the hotel was disgusting. The manager was incredibly rude to us and it made me uncomfortable. I will never stay here or recommend this place to anyone.
