Bed was extremely old and uncomfortable, microwave was malfunctioning, room/hotel was old and dated. The pictures on the wall were faded and you could barley see them. But the oceanview and location were great. This place has potential, just needs some updating.

Too expensive for a plain jane room. Food wrappers and containers were found in the drawer of the bedside table. The view was the only amenity. The continental breakfast was a joke (Coffee, orange juice and a packaged danish roll). Didn't get what we paid for.

My husband booked this hotel online without my "approval" and when I checked and saw the negative comments I was, needless to say, a little concerned. My concerns were put to rest upon arrival. We were given an upgrade without even asking, we had a full bathtub in the room, and while it is "on" Hwy 1, the room was quiet.

Having stayed here a few times quite some time ago, we found that the lodging at the Motor Inn has not kept its charm. The location is the only positive quality remaining. There was a certain grit to the room including the bed and the bath was the worst. This place definitely needs to invest in refurbishing and upkeep.

When we arrived I asked if we could upgrade to a room with a view. The person at the front desk said they did have a room available and it was an extra $20. When I gave him my credit card for the additional fee he said he would only take cash. I gave him the cash and went to the room to find it was an obscured view of the ocean mostly it was of the hotel across the street. I went back down to tell him that I didn't have a view and I wanted my $20 back he said he had no other room available except the room we originally booked that was on the bottom floor and very dark.
