Great place to stay when traveling down pch. Rooms are big, you get a breakfast go bag in the mornings. Bed is firm for those that like firm beds. Its behind the gas station. Lobby is right behind the gas mart.

Our stay was nice, it looked like the whole place had been renovated. No longer looks like the pictures on the website. The only thing that was a little off putting was that, the lobby was a desk in the back of the mini mart of the gas station. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
