Staying at an "Inn" with over 9.0 on Expedia seemed like a no-brainer, so I didn't dig deep into what I was getting my family into. When we pulled up, our GPS took us into the parking lot of the liquor store directly next to the motel, where a police car had its lights on and was talking to one person while multiple homeless people sat nearby. We parked near that situation and went into the lobby, which was one small, dingy room. The front desk receptionist was kind and helpful, there's my only positive part of this review. Our room looked okay, but both beds had very sandy sheets and the walls were so thin that even with my white noise blasting, we could hear the neighbors talking (or maybe it was their TV?) through the whole night. I don't want to brag, but I'm really good at sleeping. It takes some NOISE to keep me up. This definitely felt more like a Motel 6 kind of place, and I am convinced that they have padded these positive reviews. There's just NO way this many people thought this motel was an excellent inn.

Great stay at an independent & more personal hotel

We really enjoyed staying at this family-run hotel. Kayla was THE friendliest receptionist ever and gave us tips to best enjoy the local area, affordably! She's clearly proud of what they've achieved as a family with the recent refurb, and rightly so. It makes a refreshing change to interact with the owners rather than staying in a hotel chain. The room itself had all we needed to crash comfortably for a couple of nights as part of a road trip through California. It's walking distance to the beach (although it was pretty windy the one day that we had to explore that part of Oceano!). Would happily stay again if ever passing through

Only .3 mile from camp grounds. When the family crawled into their tents, we turned on the heat, the Roku TV, and microwaved our dinner.
