Pleasantly surprised

Overall, a really nice stay! The service was great and the quality of the amenities very good, e.g. continental breakfast much better than most places I’ve been to in the last few years.Very comfortable except for the pillows, which were too big and a bit hard and lumpy. In addition, it was easy to hear noises from adjoining rooms. But I haven’t stayed in a motel for many years, so may have had unrealistic expectations :-).

We stayed one night on our way north to Monterey from San Diego and can say that, for the price, this is an excellent place to stay. The rooms are not large but the bathroom and shower were spacious and excellent. The breakfast included was quite adequate. The area around the motel is safe and beautifully maintained.
