We loved our stay here! Very clean rooms and easy parking. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We chose a partial view of Morro Rock and it was so magical. Very much worth the extra cost for the room. We will definitely stay here again!

Room was a little cramped, but overall good for 1 night. Good location with a partial view (I think only a few rooms) of the Morro Rock & sunset over buildings. Very convenient.

Rooms were very clean and location is a 5 min. walk to the waterfront with shopping and restaurants. Viki in the office was so nice to us. She made it very easy to book a second night as we decided to extend our stay and provided great information all about the area. Will definitely stay here again.

The room was clean and quaint. The heater worked great, and while there was no AC, the ceiling fan and box fan kept things comfortable. The bathroom and shower were clean and well-maintained. The rooms are small, but perfect for one or two people—three would fit, but it would be a bit snug. The location is great, within walking distance of many shops, restaurants, and coffee spots. The lady at the front desk was very kind and friendly.

Very nice for the price. Walkable to shopping and dining and beach. However, try to get 2nd floor you can hear people constantly walking above you.
