Ok hotel. Small parking area. Room was in the back, last room inside an odd parking area. No in room coffee. Host could have been a little more friendlier.

This is the second time I have stayed at this property and I will return! The managers take great pride and care of their facility. It is clean, safe, and welcoming. It is a cozy motel that is walking distance to downtown and just a few miles from the beach and the redwoods.

Suggest you add a USB charging unit for each room. Not expensive & available from Amazon. It’s very hard to find a room nowadays that doesn’t have this.
The bed in the handicapped room needs to be replaced, sit on it & see for yourself.

This is the first time that I was ever given trouble for not staying that I have 2 boys on reservation. I get it about stating all guest but my boys are 3 and 2. They almost didn’t want to allow me to stay at the hotel, and would have not refunded my $. I will not be staying here ever again.
