We have been going here for years and it is always good. We never have any issues and we are always know what we’re going to get. It’s a good place to stay with easy access to Fort Bragg

Loved this hotel, I’m coming back!

Loved the friendly and helpful staff!! Great location! Our rooms were in the side/back building, it was super quiet. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean! We went for Mother’s Day weekend and I was surprised that the price was very affordable! I’m definitely staying here again!
Claudia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff at front desk were very friendly. Appreciate the early check in. My family loved that the walk to the beach was less than 10mins. No AC, but they did provide a standing fan. Breakfast was not that great. All grab and go.

NO AC! It does get super hot inside the room. :( other than that, it was perfect for our family.
BETTY, 1-night trip

Good location. Quiet place. Everything we expected for our weekend getaway
Jose, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The pictures are very deceiving. No beach in sight yet the pictures that Expedia has posted makes it look like the ocean is within sight. The motel offers no breakfast and look more like a motel 6.
Teresa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The dolphin fountain at the entrance was beautiful. The gentleman who checked us in was a very happy and kind gentleman. Very nice & safe location.
Ruth, 1-night trip

My second stay here! I don’t have any complaints it’s dog friendly & so close to everything!
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean, comfortable, spacious, and quiet. Was an overnight stop on our PCH trip.
Clayton, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The service was friendly, the room was clean and well kept and we were walking distance to the mini golf and a great breakfast place. My only negative was the room was very warm. It only has heat and it radiates even when off. The small window in the bathroom wasn’t much relief. However I would go back, especially having the kids with me.
Myka, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great personnel.
Lyle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved staying here! Room was nice and bed was very comfortable. Will def be staying here next time in fort Bragg. Only issue is no AC but can slide open windows to cool the room down.
