Bare bones kinda place
This motel is old and it shows. Bare bones kind of place but I was on a budget and they had the lowest price in town. Location is great down in the NOYO harbor. Bed was Amazing, very comfortable, nice newer TV and one of the coldest mini fridges I’ve run across. Harbor light just purchased it and looks like they are doing some updating .

Amazing view
The harbor view room was amazing got to see sea otters and a seal. Lovely view of the sunset. Not to noisy considering the restaurant above the room. Would definitely come back. Plus the restaurant has a dog menu and outdoor seating to enjoy dinner with pups!

Not even close to an 8.0
The one positive would be it was clean. Everything else was not as expected. It was rated at an 8.0 if it would have been a 5.0 or maybe a 5.5 we wouldn’t have an issue. Self check in, no one to contact. Super dated and floor, doors were so badly sagged with gaps.

This place was right out of the 40s. The price was right, the room was very clean and centrally located in Noyo Harbor. I would. totally come back here again.

Quaint, funky, old motel on the waterfront of a picturesque working seaport. Clean rooms. Excellent value. The vibe here is great. If you want an upscale spa/resort experience, this isn’t for you. But if you value a real life immersion in a local coastal culture, the sights and sounds of commercial maritime, and a cool little beach you can walk to - then this place is gold…

Lovely Stay!
The location is charming. The room was small but perfectly fine though I don't recommend the bottom floor as anyone above or even the room next to it can be heard singing and dancing and tapping, walking, flushing. It was a little hard to sleep but the beds are REALLY comfy, there are blankets in there just hunt a little. I would go back as long as I get an upstairs unit :) I had trouble finding how to check in and a lovely man let me know how and then called to see if I got in and they are right across the road at the restaurant so that is nice.

This was my first visit. I really liked the location, the waterfront. The check in was different. By the looks of it, pets allowed. it was nice seeing all the fur babies. I will come back. PP

Get The Water Front View
Love this hotel! We stayed in a water front room so we had the harbor view. So fun to watch the fishing boats come and go and watch the sea lions, deer and birds through our binoculars. I gave a few things 4 stars just to give a through review,they are not deal breakers for me but might be for some folks. The room was clean enough but the last night we were there ants showed up. Not a ton but irritating to see a few at a time on the table. There are no cleaning services offered unless you stay 4 nights. But there are plenty of supplies so you dont really need anything. I did my check in/check out online and it was easy. There is a 24 hour # you can call if you need anything. I would have called about the ants if they showed up on day 1. I am an early riser so I was able to open the window blinds and sit at the table with my coffee watching the activities in the harbor. Hotels.com said pets are free but there is a charge for pets which is added when you check in. Over all we had a fantastic time and will be back. My daughter wants to make this our annual mom/daughter destination.

Loved everything about this place and its location. The sound of the whistle, smell of the salt air, hearing the boats heading out into the ocean waters. Seeing & listening to the sea lions. It really is an awesome spot to stay.
