Quiet, safe, good location, can walk to beach, everything works fine. Bonus points for nice staff, cleanliness, and especially PRICE!. We needed a place to stay heading up North. Originally booked at a similar place in San Luis Obispo but it was $377...I looked further and found this place for only $106. So this was a no brainer. Plus if you want SLO is a close drive anyway so staying here is a money saver. Great place

As a solo traveler, I enjoyed the weekend stay at Ocean Palms Motel! The room had AC and everything I needed to be comfortable. Chill surfer vibe room and very clean! Close to everything and a beautiful place to walk around and explore. Will definitely stay there again! Office attendant Laura was so kind, friendly, professional, and welcoming!!! I appreciated the list of suggested restaurants in the area that she provided. Looking forward to staying here again soon!

Unfortunately me and my family stumbled across the ocean palms hotel in hopes that we could enjoy our night in. The hardest part was the check in situation. This is the first of many stays in the 805 where an early check in just was not going to happen. The women at the front desk seemed bothered about me having my support animal and asking me questions about what type of support animal he is and tried to charge me a fee when it says specifically states that the hotel don’t charge for a pet fee. The room looked like it hadn’t been wiped down with huge footprints on the door and wall. The refrigerator and microwave was also dirty. The shower had hair in it and was out of soap completely. The ice maker was also out of service and no accommodations were provided. You are unable to call the front desk because the women doesn’t answer. This hotel ruined our trip.

I really like this the place. Clean is an understatement. Staff is super friendly. Nice covered seating area, with a fire pit. Convenient to excellent restaurants, and a local market just up the street. Cant go wrong. We've stayed two years in row, and am already planning a third.
