    This is the second time I have stayed here, and I love it. You can't beat the value. It's got an old-school motel vibe, but clean and quiet. The location, easy walking distance to Stonesteps to the beach, Pannikin coffee shop, and tons of restaurants, is top notch.

    This motel is in an excellent location. On the beach side of the pacific coast highway. We could easily walk to cafes, shops and the beaches. The staff were very friendly. A small breakfast was available each morning which was a bonus. It was also nice to have a room with a table and chairs to eat around. The swimming pool was a nice extra too. The kids enjoyed using it at the end of the day.

    The motel was great value for money and the location was super central. Probably the best value for a motel in this price range. Ended up also extending my stay a couple of nights and came back through town the following week and chose to stay here again. Would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a no frills but good quality motel.
