This was an excellent place to stay. The rooms are getting a little dated decor-wise, but are very clean and comfortable. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and thoughtful, and the breakfast (and all-day free cookies) were delicious and made us feel at home. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Check in was easy - and staff at desk was great - actually made some chocolate chip cookies for us while we finishing up paperwork. Free coffee and tea in lobby also. The room was very clean, bathroom was updated and spotless. Beds were comfortable and room had sliding glass doors out to garden area. Breakfast was great - a step above many “free breakfast” motel stays. Bacon, eggs, country potatoes, oranges, bananas, apples, waffles, all kinds of other things. And restaurant called Manta Ray attached to motel was outstanding. Many seafood options as well as great wine list. Easy access to entrance and exit. Close to many attractions like elephant seals and small beach towns and coastal communities. Will definitely be staying there again!
