My wife and I are locals on the central coast. Our home is having repairs where we need to find a place to stay for 4 days. The first girl at the tides showed us several rooms. Even though they are very old and run down she was so helpful gave us a decent price we decided to make a... More

Great motel, great, super-nice staff, great cat, great location! We love how everything seems stuck in the 50s. Reminds us of our childhood visits and that era. We want to live there! That's how much we loved it. If you're super picky and need to have first class everything, then you probably won't like it. Then again, you probably wouldn't... More

The bed sheets were old, but smelt fresh and the bed was comfortable. We hd two major issues: 1) After returning from dinner... More

An earlier reviewer stated the stairs were unstable. However, I am large man and had no problems making frequent trips up them, they were very stable. Also, they were... More

I enjoyed my stay so much. It was relaxing. You could see the ocean from the parking lot. There was beach access. It's not fancy by any means. The hotel could use a renovation but for the price I paid, I couldn't ask for more. It was very clean. It's family owned and many of the guest I met there,... More
