We liked this property. Parking was super convenient - right outside our door, and the location was great - walkable to a variety of restaurants, coffee place with good coffee - all on the main drag. We would stay here again and recommend it to others.

My family and myself have stayed here twice and we booked the family suite . It was a great size for our family of 6. It’s also conveniently located to shops and steps away from the beach. Staff was very kind . I would definitely recommend staying central coast Inn. Shannan

Nice and convenient location. We will consider staying again. But the refrigerator was excessively noisy each time it cycled on. Hard to sleep. Not really a beach view but close enough.

Upon entering the room I smelled a strong smell of urine. I immediately started looking for another hotel online, but they were all booked up. My husband suggested getting air freshener but that would just cover up the filth. I walked to the gas station and got a bottle of 409 and paper towels. I cleaned the floor by the toilet and my towel came up BLACK. I proceeded to clean the entire floor and it apparently hadn’t been properly cleaned in a while. The smell improved but not much. I have never had to clean a room before. I would never stay here again.
