A bit run down. There is no AC and to get fresh air into the room you have to have the windows open which look directly out to where everyone is walking and anyone can see in. They provide fans but we had to go buy another more powerful one to really get some airflow. The water pressure was substandard. However, the staff was very helpful and friendly and the location was really why we stayed there. We really liked that the had a mini fridge

Our room had a king bed which was thankfully comfortable. The only plus. A kitchenette that had full fridge microwave broken drawers and a cupboard with a small coffee brewer no cups. The window coverings had holes there was no smoke detector it was ripped down. A lamp was on a portable heater and dangling cords from lamp and tv, no closet or dresser not one drawer. Bath had no towel bars or TP holder and smelled like sewer. It definitely wasn’t worth what they charge. And the website has pics of beach front rooms THEY ARE NOT BEACH FRONT. The front desk gal was very friendly the only reason we really stayed

The location is fantastic. I was in room 100, which has a jacuzzi tub. The tub was ok. The bolt on the door is blocked from locking. I literally have a chair stuffed under the door handle. There are no knobs on the drawers, screw sticking out of a cabinet door as a “handle”, no washcloths, etc. It’s not fancy, which is fine, but it’s also not maintained at all. It is a less expensive place and it feels like it.

The facility is somewhat run-down. It definitely needs repairs throughout the outside of it- many repairs needed. There was no one at the front desk for over 15 minutes during "breakfast time". They had run out of coffee, juice (not "real" OJ), and bagel topping. Couldn't find anyone till the housekeeper came and replenished these things. The inside of my room has been adequate: clean, has most things needed, including amenities; except too few towels.

The property itself is run down but quiet and comfortable if you don’t mind the general state of disrepair. The problem is that the owner seems content with the fact that nothing works. When we checked in, we were informed there was a problem with one of our two rooms - the electronic key card wasn’t working. Their solution? Call the son of the woman working the front desk to BREAK IN THROUGH THE BACK WINDOW. So this poor man shows up with a ladder and proceeds to… break into the wrong room. So then the poor couple in the room next to us is startled to have a man climbing through their bathroom window. Eventually, he gets into our room and unlocks it from the inside. However, then we STILL don’t have a key to the room. The front desk lady suggests we just leave the door propped open when we leave because “it’s a super safe neighborhood.” Bear in mind this is the same person who just asked her son to break in through the back. At no point did anyone think to offer us even a partial refund. To the extend they acknowledged anything was even problematic about the situation, they blamed everything on the owner, who apparently couldn’t be bothered. At one point, the front desk staff told me she might just walk off the job, and I wouldn’t blame her. I do believe the staff did the best they could, but this place isn’t equipped to provide basic standards of service. You should be able to provide a key with a door that locks, or make up to guests for the inconvenience.

Economic and great location.
Great economic choice right off 101. Awesome location to be able walk to Von’s, Starbucks and even down to the beach. We were greeted quickly with a hello and a smile by the young man who checked us in, he was friendly and very helpful. The Inn is very adorable, the room is average size. The room did show some signs of extra wear, our room even had the door molding damaged by what appeared to be a large dog. There were few a holes in the walls, and room really needs some love and TLC. Still a great place to stay especially for the price, a few dollars spent in the room would go a long way.

Will I go back? That's a hard no.
Friendly people but if you come during off season (winter), prepare to be cold in your room. You're less than a block from the beach. Also their network(G2) is way too low for a commercial building. TV and live streams kept seizing up. All. The. Time. Very fustrating. The bath faucet is a bit tricky. If you put on the hot water full blast, you'll get warm water. If you place it half way, you shouldn't have a problem. Unless multiple people use it at the same time. I shan't be going back. Especially for their prices. There are many other hotels in the area you could choose from. They should consider dropping it drastically during off-sesson. On the positive side, there's a yogurt shop across the street that'd way dope. And te place was relatively clean.
