Great Pet Stay
This is a great pet friendly place to stay along the Northern California coast. Our only issue was lack of cell phone signal and spotty Wi-Fi.

Bed was ok, pillows leave something to desire, sink was plugged, which we did report and hope fixed for next customer. Did not have any of the food. We have stayed here prior and have been happy but, this time, not as happy!

Centrally loates
We enjoyed this location because it was centrally located newr the beaches, restaurants, shopping/ grocery store, allowed pets, had a dog run, and had a reasonable pet fee. The breakfast was basic with very limited selection. The staff were friendly and helpful.
