We found this Motel satisfactory for our brief stay. It's nothing fancy, but our room was clean, quiet and the beds comfortable. Front desk staff cooperative. We asked for a quiet room away from the traffic and they provided it. Rates were reasonable and it's conveniently located near Hearst castle.

This motel must have new ownership since the last time I was there (several years ago). It is much cleaner, it looks renovated, the staff work diligently there to keep the rooms nice and clean and it's a great value.

Sweet spot not far from anything you want to do in this area! Super friendly staff and clean room. I just wish I had more time to use the pool and spa! This is a repeated favorite place. We haven’t stayed in a long time, it’s nice to see the upgraded rooms. And you can bring your pups!
