We had to go to another hotel because they had lost electricity. The front desk was very kind but really could not do much because i had made my reservation through a third party. So i will have to try to get a refund through expida

The people who run this motel are some of the nicest folks we have had the pleasure of knowing. Great service, nice staff. We stayed 3 days my wife and i plus our friend, the manager upgraded us to a suite with 2 rooms. The breakfast was awesome, and warm cookies a nice bonus. Conveniently located to Hearst Castle, and Morrow bay. On the way out they gave us candy bars for the road. We will definitely stay here every time we visit the area. Loved it!!
