The hotel had a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms had a balcony with a view of the southern coastline and some great amenities like a fireplace and jacuzzi tub, but they were in desperate need of a renovation. The service was a bit of a letdown with issues like smoke entering the room, although the staff was incredibly helpful. The location had its ups and downs, being safe and secure but also in an over-crowded tourist trap area. The dining experience was as expected but fell short on variety. The facilities were decent but could be improved in some areas.

The hotel felt more like a closed inn past its hours than a welcoming stay. The rooms on the 3rd floor were so dirty that my spouse and I didn't dare walk on the carpet without our shoes. The service, despite being defensive when confronted, had a few basics missing like a ceiling fan and no smoking notices on the patio doors. On the bright side, the location was unbeatable, right on the beach, giving me a homely feeling despite being near a recent wildfire.

The hotel offers rooms with lovely furnishings, jacuzzi tubs, and fireplaces facing the beach, however, the small breakfast area may not meet health standards. The service, while friendly, had some issues with smoke entering rooms and heating. The location is exceptional, right on the stunning California Coast, with views of the ocean, but slightly distant without a car. The dining experience, with minimal but adequate offerings, could be improved. The facilities are decent and well-maintained.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room had some issues like a strange smell, stained carpets, and uncomfortable beds, although it was spacious with a balcony and fireplace. The service was friendly but defensive when faced with complaints. The location was convenient, but the aftermath of a wildfire nearby was unsettling. The dining options were simple but sufficient, with the hazelnut coffee being a standout. The facilities had their flaws, with the carpet being a major downside.

I was pleased to find Inn on the Beach, a pretty bare but clean property tucked away in a quiet culdesac community with beach frontage. The service was unexpectedly friendly and helpful, although there were some smoking staff near the entrance. The location, right on the beach, was the motel's standout feature, with a perfect seaside village feel. However, the dining experience was below par with basic pastries and coffee. The overall value for money was decent despite the lackluster breakfast options.

The hotel has a prime location right on the beach with marvelous ocean views. While the rooms stunk like stale body odor and had a lingering smell of dusk, funk, and smoke, the ambiance was lovely, with a few heating issues to consider. The service experience was a mix of pleasant interactions alongside some defensive responses, but ultimately, the staff, especially Steve and Jay at the front desk, were incredibly nice and helpful. The location overshadows any negative aspects, making guests feel at home and offering easy access to dining options. The dining experience, while just adequate, did include beloved hazelnut coffee. The facilities were decent overall.

Although the hotel rooms were clean, they were extremely dated and had a strong smell of raw sewage. The carpets were stained and torn, beds uncomfortable, and the sink didn't drain properly. The minimal breakfast was a letdown, especially for my pregnant wife sensitive to smoke. However, the service was pleasant, if a bit defensive when complaints arose. The location gave off a relaxing California beach vibe with nearby dining options. The dining experience, unfortunately, was below expectations. The facilities were just average.

The hotel has a quirky and quiet design with oversized furniture and a gas fireplace in the rooms, but cleanliness was an issue. The AC system was not working properly. The service from Steve and Jay at the front desk was unexpectedly nice. The location is ideal for beach lovers but challenging for those without a car. The dining options, though simple, were adequate. Overall, the value for money is reasonable considering the proximity to the beach.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, offering a nice view of the ocean, but the breakfast selection was limited to just danishes and coffee with powder creamers. The hotel's location right on the beach was fantastic, but nearby dining options were either distant or pricey. The service was friendly and helpful, though there was some noise disturbance late at night. The dining area was disappointing, resembling a sad room with leftover collections. Despite some drawbacks, the beachfront location was the true highlight of this stay.
