Room is ok. Need deep cleaning esp the bathroom and the floor it’s super dirty. We were looking forward to use the jacuzzi but it was closed by the health dept.
Hopefully this place look into this and take care of issue.

Quiet and clean. We were told because we had booked the room through Expedia and not directly with the motel that we were not eligible for a free breakfast - they stated at check in that we would need to pay an additional fee if we wanted breakfast. The mini fridge was not functioning, a standing lamp in the room was not working and the shower handle was so loose it felt like it might fall off in my hands. The motel stated a late checkout was possibly available on a first come first serve basis and when we inquired we were denied the opportunity because they stated they were “short staffed.”

Loved the location - right across from the beach. Loved that you had a code to get into the room instead of a card that could demagnetize at an inopportune time. Rooms spacious.

Positives: room was clean and updated. Negatives: shower amenities pump out a 1/4 tsp of product at a time. Fine, whatever. Room tidying only seems to happen upon request. Ok, but maybe let us know that in advance, or have a note about that in the room. Electric charger spots taken by gas cars. Is no one making sure this doesn’t happen? The closest charging station is Morro Bay. Guests are either loud in the morning or the walls are thin. Check in after 9 is 10 minutes away. It would have been nice to know this so we could have gone there first. The pool and hot tub were closed by order of the health department. Gross. We will not be back.

Location is perfect. We did not receive breakfast. The pool and jacuzzi were both closed. They should let guests know. They’ll be out of service for some months.
