Untimely construction

We’re it not for the construction and remodeling going on next to our room I would rate it 5 stars! The location only a couple of blocks from the beach and within walking distance to The Funk Zone was excellent. I would definitely come back one construction is over with.

I had a transient person knocking on my door at two and 2:30 in the morning. Not the greatest area in a hotel is below par.

Close to the beach and close to good food. High walkability and seems safe and quiet. Nice pool and very friendly staff.
Wendy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Really wonderful property form the price. My room needed some repairs and updating, but the pool was heated and the person at the front desk was friendly. The property itself is very well kept and a stone's throw from the beach. I would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

absolutely loved this stay, mind you not only is it affordable but the bed and pillows were so comfortable. i needed a place to stay for the night since i was on a work trip from LA made it up to Orcutt and by the time i came down the mountain i was drained. The office closed early but they made it so easy to get my key from a lock box. room was very clean with a heater and tv, coffee and a box to charge whatever you needed. I’ll definitely be returning since they’re right down the block from the beach!

Parking was good. Expedia said there’s a microwave in all rooms & they said at check in they do not have microwaves. The girl at check in was nice. Had room 9 by the ice maker room so heard ice coming out of machine day & night. Was close to the beach. Close to freeway. Had a variety of tv channels. Maid service came. Would stay again

This hotel is on the cusp of being a really nice hotel. The exterior has been beautifully redone- now remodel the rooms! The furniture is old and there is not art work on the walls. Work on having the inside match the outside
