Cozy, warm and with a spectacular view!
The location of the hotel is simply perfect, the views from the rooms are spectacular. I’ve been staying for years here and the front desk staff is very nice, they love pets and it is close to everything. It is not a fancy place but it feels warm and the views of the ocean from the rooms are amazing.

Great view!
Clean and neat and the view is to die for. Getting to the beach is tough going down a very steep hill but if you are young nothing you can’t handle. Ours had a small kitchen and a gas fireplace for heat.

This was a cozy little motel with an amazing ocean view! The walk down to the beach was easy, but climbing the road back up just took a bit out of us. Friendly staff and quiet neighbors. I was a little disappointed at the mold in the bathroom, but for a couple nights, I could deal with it.

Great view and clean room. (Room 105). Room condition kind of shaky-window frame falling apart/rusty and grimy; torn carpet by the fireplace; door bolt very difficult to slide; bathroom door beat up and rusty. Looks like the salty air is winning the battle.
Also had a drone hovering near our window at the shoreline.

Good location.
It was a good location but needs more comfortable beds and more updates, but overall good for the price.

Smelled like dog
Smelled like old dog when we entered our room.
The drip pans on the stove were not the correct size, so the burners did not sit flat.
We were able to use 1 of the small burners to cook on.
When I book a room with a kitchen, I expect it to have a fully functioning stove.
