"The motel had nice ocean and beach views, and there was a safe trail above the rugged cliffs where walkers could see various shore birds and marine mammals. The room was well-kept, and the housekeepers were excellent and efficient. The complimentary breakfast was a nice start to the day. Bring water shoes and understand the tide tables.2019-12-19 "
"No easy beach access. The motel room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. Nice grounds. Breakfast was OK.2016-04-18 "
