This little mom and pop place was spotless. Continental breakfast included. There were no support rails for getting in and out of bathtub/shower. I really felt this to be a safety issue....even for an able bodied person as myself. The second issue were the paper thin walls. I could actually hear the guy in the room above me snoring!!!! No...

Our family of four (parents, oldest brother and I) booked here as a stop along the PCH and to see Hearst Castle. We arrived early afternoon and our rooms were ready, nothing fancy but basic motel rooms. Unfortunately we didn't get our tour tickets early enough so we had to wait until 9am the next morning so we had a... More

Having read the reviews i was expecting a better motel than we visited. The outside could do with a lick of paint whilst the rooms could do with refurbishment. Other minor faults and with limited facilities. As such i would try 1 of the other motels on the row next time. Good location, close to the beach and Hearst castle.... More

We stayed here for one night in April on way to the Big Sur. We had a king room which was very clean, spotless in fact, the room had a large fridge, a microwave and coffee. Bedding, towels, bathroom etc were all clean and the bed was very comfortable. To be honest the room looked like it may have been... More

We stayed here for one night on our way up the coast for winter break. It was comfortable and clean, and a good value. Had to eat breakfast standing up as there weren't enough places to sit, but we would stay here again.

Since we were traveling on the off season, I knew prices would be better than usual, but the low price encouraged a two night stay instead of a rushed, one night. The high placement on this site because of traveler reviews was more encouragement to give them a try. After the long drive, the easy to spot sign was a... More

Basically, this is a very nice 2 star property, and our stay was pleasant. Good value for the price, and our room was spotless, which is most important to us....we are here for the scenery, not the hotel stay. There is no restaurant on site, but many within walking distance, and most are attached to other hotels. The walls are... More

Stayed one night on our way home to Canada from Palm Springs. Nice clean room with a view of the ocean.Basic Continental breakfast. Bath towels could have been bigger but would not stop us from staying here again. Minutes from Hearst Castle and a short walk to the beach. Would recommend this place for anyone travelling through and wanting to... More

We picked this hotel because it was close to the Hearst Castle. Small room, paper thin walls, dated, and a joke of a continental breakfast. Who knew they still had soap bars that size. If you're going to the castle, stay in Cambria 5 miles away. They appear to have much nicer places to stay. All that being said, the... More

Hotel was good value for money. Rooms were pleasant and had a sea view which was unexpected. This is a tiny town that seems to be there just for tourists visiting Cambria Castle. Reception gave us a coupon for restaurant down the road. Would definitely recommend going there as had fantastic seafood pasta and prawn starter. Only downfall was that... More
