This small boutique hotel is quaint and near the beach. Not a far walk to the funk zone. Perfect for being close to the zoo as well. Overall a great experience.

The room was nice, the bed comfortable, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was so quiet given that it's just off the highway. There are several restaurants close by. It's a perfect place to stay if you're going to Paso Robles to see the light show (Sensorio). I would definitely stay there again.

The location of this hotel is great and super convenient! Walking distance from the beach and also has a pool with great sun shade when it’s too hot outside to be in the sun for too long. The front desk/owner is very sweet and helpful. My husband and I will definitely return here.

Hotel was nice and a short walk away from the beach. My only issue was the neighbors constantly slamming doors and people being loud late at night, which isn’t the hotel’s fault but still needs to be shared
