The room we had was fabulous.

Marinelli · CA · 2026-07-20

Great place for one night stay.

9.0

There was a pool but it was a cold day. Restaurants were close by

Can’t complain about it we slept well

Edward · CA · 2026-07-20

Cheap place for a short sray

5.0

The location was good, with convenience stores within walking distance and the waterfront a shirt drive away. The room was "cute" and well-appointed.

There was an air of neglect of housekeeping, with accumulated dust on almost all hiruzontal surfaces. The ashtray on the porch from the room next door was not emptied when the occupants checked out.

Would not recommend

4.0

The bed was comfy, there was a heat pump, shower was good (despite the DIY tile job and controls in an awkward place). More economical than most other single traveller options.

This place needs attention. I almost left seeing the state of the property but had pre-booked. So many little needed to be fixed: dings in the wall, baseboards in the bathroom, very loose sink faucet. Hopefully the cabins are better. Does no one care about this place?

Good price.

6.0

Price was good. Bed was comfortable.

Looked tired. Did not have coffee or milk in the morning. And no one was around.

Michael · US · 2026-07-15

Refused to stay.

1.0

Nothing

We opted not to stay after seeing the place. The lock on the door was a struggle to unlock and since the door locks automatically, we would have needed to play with the key every time just to sit outside. Outdoor space was lacking. They showed us another room but the room didn't smell clean and was right next to the pool which didn't close. The smell from the AC unit smelt like mold in both rooms.
