Great place to stay when traveling down pch. Rooms are big, you get a breakfast go bag in the mornings. Bed is firm for those that like firm beds. Its behind the gas station. Lobby is right behind the gas mart.

Originally the place looked a little sketchy, but the service was very nice and easy to check in and the room was clean. It was quiet too. The breakfast in the morning was something that a mom would put together in a paper bag with 2 of : bananas, tangerines, granola bars, yogurt/spoons, and cookies, but I’d stay again if necessary

Our stay was nice, it looked like the whole place had been renovated. No longer looks like the pictures on the website. The only thing that was a little off putting was that, the lobby was a desk in the back of the mini mart of the gas station. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The breakfast was a paper bag breakfast- not what I expected. The staff was very sweet. The rooms were good. I was just spending a night in transit so it didn’t matter, but for a place that offers “breakfast” it felt a bit deceiving
