Ok hotel. Small parking area. Room was in the back, last room inside an odd parking area. No in room coffee. Host could have been a little more friendlier.

This is the second time I have stayed at this property and I will return! The managers take great pride and care of their facility. It is clean, safe, and welcoming. It is a cozy motel that is walking distance to downtown and just a few miles from the beach and the redwoods.
