THE Best!
Stayed in room #5 and it was hands down the best place to stay. The room was clean and the entire set up was superior. The room had 2 water bottles, coffee and hot chocolate, it had popcorn and a microwave and cups for usbto use. They also left us ice in a small igloo! The bathroom was spotless! I would definitely suggest for you to stay here. I will definitely stay there again!

Awesome Place
This is our second stay at this inn. We love the privacy, the decor, the friendliness of the staff and the location. A nice walk to the beach, restaurants and easy access to Hwy 101. We will be back on our next trip through central CA.

Perfect and Charming
We were pleasantly surprised by the expertly renovated and modernized rooms. As close to the highway as the Inn was it was amazingly quiet at night. The grounds were immaculate and the pool was private and comfortable. A perfect stay and the price was very reasonable. We will be back!

Very Cozy and Clean
Very clean and cozy. The decor is very beautiful and small touches like mints and very fluffy towels made all the difference. Shower was better than my own at home.
