“Verry Pleasant place to stay everything so clean and if you need anything the staff was polite and will assist you. It was amazing stay I do not have anything negative to say. I've stayed here before it's always been Pleasant ask for the best view and you'll get it if rooms are not already reserved. The view was just fabulous thank you to all the staff it was a very pleasant w day 3 night stay. I'll be staying again”
“It was such a great experience at such an affordable price. My family and I were able to easily check in and had a wonderful stay. The managers were super nice and very helpful! It was nice having a good size refrigerator and a microwave! Parking was convenient and the location was great! We were able to walk to close restaurants and we were not that far from an Albertsons or a Walgreens when needed! We will definitely stay again! We also enjoyed the 24/7 SpongeBob channel! Kept our little once occupied when in the hotel room!”
“Deep was awsome. I was driving late Deep called at 12pm to make sure I was making it and wanted to know if I was okay. He also told me to drive safe. He also help me park and was attendant in the morning. You can tell he really loves his job I had an 8-hour drive to funeral and that was the last one to stop and work so glad we stopped there my kids love the hotel with a view”
“We stayed at this gem of a hotel 2 nights for our anniversary. What a pleasant surprise!! It was an awesome experience all around! The view of the morro rock was breathtaking. Best view you could ask for. The guys at the front desk were professional, kind, accommodating, and helpful. The grounds were well maintained and taken care of. The rooms came equipped with microwave, refrigerator and heater/air. We will definitely be returning in the near future! Great location to everything!”
“Update- the owner allowed me to park infront of the office so that my vehicle would on the hotel grounds. I really do appreciate it. The room was clean. Well stocked. Decent location. Parking is very tight but worst of all, not enough Parking. I had to park off-site.”
“Thank you dip for amazing service! Our room was very clean, shower remained hot which was comforting, there were complimentary tooth brushes, shower caps and plenty of towels for bathing. The beds were comfortable and clean. No complaints. I will stay here again next time I drive up the coast.”
“The hotel was very clean, and an easy walk to local restaurants and beaches. We enjoyed our time there. I gave it a Four star rating for 2 reasons: the air conditioner was extremely noisy, and I asked for a late checkout, (not too late- wanted to stay until 12:30 which was only partially granted until 12 pm, but could have easily been granted, as there were still other rooms being cleaned...) All in all a positive experience.”
