The kitchen was nice to have its in need of updating throughout its a vintage motel on the hillside but good price and great ocean view. The staff was very nice and we brought our large dog with us and he enjoyed as much as we did.

We had a wonderful view of the ocean. They provided all amenities for a comfortable stay with our dog. We stayed warm and cozy. The wifi was sufficient for our needs and was faster than many places we have stayed. We stay here a couple of times or more every year.
