“Beautiful place for couples or families”
The lady that greeted us was so lovely and gave us information on where to go The room was very clean and had a homely feeling. Close to Pismo Beach, short drive or you could walk. Zorro’s Mexican Restaurant only a short walk away was amazing.

“Welcome retreat”
Arrived a little late (1900) & had to phone to obtain instructions to get key. We were in room 2 which had a parking space in front. We were kindly treated by a bottle of wine to help us celebrate our anniversary which was a lovely surprise! The shower was in a step over bath which had plenty of hot water. You could hear traffic noise from the nearby highway but it didn’t keep us awake. (Earplugs were provided) We walked to the bar down the road & had a steak sandwiches which were very good. ( Beware everywhere closes by 9pm) There is no breakfast provided but there was a 10% off voucher provided to a place down the road which was ok. Handy 7-11 nearby. Didn’t use the small on site pool.

“Like friends invited you to stay at their cool motel!”
Very charming, cosy place to stay with a rustic/retro vibe. It’s clear they have thought about your needs and have put a lot of care into making it comfortable and welcoming for guests. A quick walk got us delicious Mexican food at Zorro’s, and the ocean is also easily reached on foot.
