Marina

Liked: Staff & service
Motel. The bed was dirty upon arrival( just sand by the pilllows) and bathroom was old. Possible staying on second floor would help the room air and feel more comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend staying here myself but if you’re okay with staying in a motel then this was fine.

Beautiful view. Rooms were pretty decent. Wish it had a microwave. Restaurant food is alright but I’d suggest Big Sur cafe down the street. They have a killer happy hour from 4-6 pm. I was very satisfied here.

The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful and accommodating. The location is great. It has the ocean view and is only a few minutes to the beach. It is also a very short drive to the famous Hearst Castle.

Great location. Comfy beds. A bit noisy/thin walls and ceiling with loud upstairs neighbors walking around, but the market and liquor store and bar onsite was convenient.
