Room was clean, plenty spacious enough. For being an older motel, it was renovated pretty well. My only complaint was no counter space in the bathroom, but there really wasn't room for any either. Nice yard with a gas fire pit, was wonderful to sit at in the evening. Grounds are clean, check in was easy. I would stay again.

Comfy, no frills place to enjoy the town.

Stayed here a few times now over the last ten years. Always been a great place to stay. Walking distance to a lot of the town's better restaurants and the Saloon and a short drive to Moonstone Beach and Hearst Castle. Can't recommend more if you're just looking for a clean place with a comfy bed to come back to when you're done with your local adventures.

Exellent vaule and location

This motel is of great value due to its friendly staff and prolximity to town (all walkable) yet just far enough away to be quiet, while also affordable. We'll stay here every time we go to Cambria.

The property is clean and well-maintained with recent upgrades. The staff are excellent. The property offers on-site parking, which many others in Cambria do not. It's not luxurious, but is an excellent value for the price.
