Dirty bed and towels
Homeless issues in parking lot, crumbs in bed upon arrival, dirty towels with stains hung up in bathroom. Will never stay here again.

Not returning
Bed was painfully hard and had a weird metal support that stuck out from under the mattress so that I hit my leg getting out of bed. Bathtub has been oddly disabled for use. Strange pipes sticking out from wall.
The decor was charming. Room was quiet. Staff was efficient.

Friendly family run hotel-competitive rates.
Awesome friendly family run hotel. Competitive rates, clean upgraded rooms, beautiful flower beds. Excellent location close to Safeway and eateries. Only a mile to the beautiful ocean.

Enjoyed our stay
Enjoyed our stay, felt safe and comfortable. Cleanliness could’ve used some work and guest reception could’ve been better though we did check in overnight around 1:00am.

We were here for car week, so it was very convenient and easy to get to the freeway and pebble beach.
It was a decent room for 2, upstairs. Beds were comfortable, but the frame was noisy ( not terrible). Could use a bit of dusting , and more hooks in the bathroom and vanity area for clothes/towels. A luggage rack or table would also be nice as well.
We found it quiet, decent area ( we felt safe ). Staff was always helpful.

Very nice spacious rooms, the floor was a bit dirty but nothing unbearable. I stayed here when I wanted to visit the aquarium; this was a great location. There are many places across the street and nearby such as many dining options and plenty of shopping. Great deal for the price
