6/10 Good

The host who greeted us was friendly and a clear communicator. For the price, the room was fine. Smelled a bit musty, but open windows took care of that.

Michelle, 1-night trip

Great lodge experience

Mattress was so soft we rolled into the middle like an air mattress going flat but other than that it was a great stay. Loved the room, restaurant and location. Had a king room with a slider out to the pool area. Included a tiny private patio. Short walk down to the beach. Will definitely return.

Like the fact that we were able to bring our dog and had a room on the bottom level where we can bring the dog outside plus the restaurant had a patio where we were able to have our dog while we ate lunch.

Nigel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely location, a well kept older motel, yes it needs some work, but you can see they are making improvements and maintaining things. The restaurant prices are high, but comparable with the local restaurants. Check in was fast and flawless, Luis at the front desk was very professional and friendly.

Raul, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We always enjoy ourselves when we come here. The most important thing to me is that it is clean. And it was clean. Everyone was nice. I just wish they didn't let RV's park in the lot in front, we paid for a partial ocean view, but the RV was sitting in front of the view.
