WiFi does not work. No cell coverage We got the shrug when we told front desk that WiFi didn’t work. Never got it the whole weekend. No cell coverage. Room was shabby and neglected. Parking lot was Littered. On the plus side, you can walk to the cove with a small picturesque beach. Hope someone buys this place and fixes it up.

Things didn’t work but still good big room This was a good find late in the evening. The phone didn’t work, in the morning the water was cold and we had to go to another used room for a shower, but it was cheap and the room was big and warm. There is a lovely private beach, an outdoor fire pit, and a great Thai restaurant on site.

Enjoyed my stay Really enjoyed staying here. The rooms are a little out of style but neat and clean. Short walk to the beach. I feel I had a lot of privacy. Best of all the staff was very upbeat, friendly and helpful.

Dismal and unsafe Absolutely deplorable. I know that this is supposed to be "rustic chic", but this was disgusting. Picked up the phone, it was dead. No WIFI. Screen sliding door hanging off track, I was unable to fix it. Bed was extremely uncomfortable and I could feel the springs busting through the mattress. Bugs crawling all over the room. Zero ventilation. All handles and knobs rusty. Lighting looks like something out of "The Shining". Front desk woman was rude upon check in. I prepaid this reservation for 3 nights through Booking.com and after the first night, I knew I could not stay there anymore. After the first night, I went to the front desk and the front desk person called the manager, who said he would refund me two nights minus $50 for a "late check out" fee because I came to the front desk at 10am. I had to escape this dismal place and went up the road, hoping I would find a hotel that had rooms (I traveled in August this year, high season). I found one that was way better for almost the same price. I took this up with my credit card company, who refunded me every penny I paid because the hotel did not respond to their request to respond to my complaint. Guess it wasn't that important to them. Trust me, DO NOT STAY HERE. Very unsafe, disgusting conditions, this place needs to either completely remodel or close. What a disappointment!

Not What We Expected The Good: the people were friendly and helpful and gave us some nice tips about local places to eat, the shower had good water pressure and worked fine, the beach is beautiful. Nice location between Mendocino and Ft. Bragg and close to a number of coastal California State Parks. The Bad: The sheets wouldn't stay on the mattress and lumped up during the night, the WiFi was slow and unreliable, the hair dryer didn't work, the microwave worked but the turntable didn't rotate, there was an ironing board by no iron. It was out of cell coverage from Ft. Bragg and Mendocino. The Ugly: We stayed in one of the older, one story rooms and the walls were thin and we could hear conversations/TVs from other rooms, the television in the room was a vintage 19" one with Direct TV, which had 99 channels, the majority of which were shopping channels, five were local TV and PBS, 10 were Spanish speaking, one in Japanese. The Verdict: Not worth the price of the stay at present. The motel and compound is up for sale. Hopefully, it will be acquired by someone who sees its potential, is willing to invest in some upgrades and takes some pride in the complex.
