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.

Property was updated, cute and clean. Staff very helpful. A little road noise, but nothing that would prevent me from staying again. Ear plugs were available if you felt you needed. I thought that was very considerate. Loved having mini fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. To go coffee cups a nice thought for guests too. Pre filled ice bucket, cheese cutting board and wine glasses a nice touch too.

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!

A little small, but nothing to complain about. Loved that it was right down the street from the restaurants and bars and coffee shops. Reasonable price for our stay.

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.
