The staff was so friendly and helpful on where to go sightseeing as we were on motorcycles. The restaurants were pretty busy, service and food was very good. Would definitely stay again.
I would definitely recommend this place. Very cute and charming, and the staff was very accommodating! It’s an older property but clean, quiet, well maintained, and nicely located.
Location was great - staff very helpful! Rooms comfortable.
NOTE: be careful if coffee machine need to be refreshed, wealthy CA guests get quite 'tedious' in the queue - staff handles this issue w/ speed & grace
We stayed for one night. Our view was great, we had a front view of the beach and marina. The room was clean, TV worked well and overall the hotel’s decor was nice. I get the theme of the place but their bedsheets could use an update.
light breakfast served, no hot items other than teas, & coffee.
Very convenient location to all the major attractions in Crescent city. Very hospitable staff, extra large rooms, all the amenities in the room, plenty of parking and great breakfast. I would highly recommend anyone who is planning a trip to crescent city.
wifi was good, room was clean, large. shower pressure was strong. parking was easy. breakfast was minimal. cereal, instant oatmeal, bagels, toast, sour cream, jam, peanut butter. Stayed one night and it served its purpose traveling through

The hotel is dated but room was clean. Staff was very helpful and gave some good recommendations as to things to do around the area!
Noisy kids & parents in the hallway at early in the morning along with maids at 8:30 vacuuming and cleaning rooms. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. Breakfast was good. Coffee maker was Awesome with all the different options for coffee drinks .
This is a cute little hotel. It feels like stepping back in time in some respects, but in a way that adds to its charm. I enjoyed the unique decor in the lobby. The staff was friendly. The room felt a little bit like a blast from the past but it was comfortable and clean. The bathroom felt well maintained and clean which is very important to me. I was a little disappointed in the breakfast- basically fruit and carbs, but its free, so can’t complain. Overall we had a nice stay.

Staff was wonderful. Room totally clean and comfortable.
Love the dollhouse collection above the lobby. Easy to locate with the cute white picket fence around the parking lot.
