Nice staff, convenient to the freeway, but paper thin towels, scant breakfast, and a hard to operate TV. One night and won't be back. Will pay $10 more for a close by Comfort Inn. Very loud heater fan...

Had all the amenities (blow dryer, iron + board, fridge, microwave, cable TV). Booked at the last minute, but got a great price. Visited Big Sur with my friend - quite far from Big Sur, but for a last minute booking, I can't complain. Staff was very nice. Breakfast was very nice and complete (coffee weak, though). Would definitely stay... More

Staff was friendly and courteous, rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable. Everything was working in our room, and breakfast was reasonable. All in all, it was good value for the price.

We stayed here for one night as part of a road trip. We arrived and the staff were nice at checking and everything seemed fine. We went to our room which was by some noisy vending machines. The rooms had an odd smell to it so we turned on the aircon. Later that even we found cookie wrappers in the... More

I was a little hesitatant to stay when I read the earlier reviews, but relented when I saw the newer reviews. What I found was a nice, clean room at a good price. Mini Fridge and microwave in room. The beds are hard for my taste, and it is close to the 101, so there is traffic noise. The breakfast... More

This hotel definitely did not live up to our expectations based on its website description and TripAdvisor reviews. It is located right off the highway next to a noisy truckstop/gas station. It is not convenient to stores or restaurants. Two female staff members seemed friendly and helpful, and perhaps the problems with our stay were beyond their control. The room... More

Nice clean room, great price, great breakfast, waffles, bagels, toast, boiled eggs, juices, fruit. Nice staff. One of our group stayed on the main floor and found it a little noisy early in the morning due to large volume of trucks but we were on the top floor and didn't hear a thing.

This is my second review for this Motel. Due to Tripadvisor restrictions, I had to have my first review deleted to update about my 3 month stay here.The reason I am writing it is because I have been here for three months and have seen a lot of what the Owners/Managers do to keep this place up. I am going... More

There was also a Super 8 across the street. That's the neighborhood it is and this property is about what you'd expect for that neighborhood. The breakfast room was very small without much to offer. Very weak orange juice. Coffee was pretty good. When I first walked into my room I was overcome with a sweet aroma that I assume... More
