Warum Gäste es lieben
- The 'Yard' is a legitimate hangout spot with fire pits and billiards
- Rábano and Lazy Acres are literally across the street for healthy eats
- Heated outdoor pool is open year-round
Kurzfassung: A renovated motel that looks like a boutique hotel but sounds like a highway—bring earplugs if you're facing PCH.
Bewertet von @charmingbitesandstays: I booked this for a solo workcation and it didn't disappoint. The lobby booths made my Zoom calls so easy, and curling up by that massive fire pit after hours was the perfect reset. Definitely my new go-to for escaping the home office.

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren

💡The 'Yoga Room' is often empty, so you can essentially have a private studio if you bring your own workout app.
💡You can hear the bus stop announcements from the rooms facing PCH.
💡The 'Yard' fire pits are timed and turn off automatically, so you might have to keep resetting them.
💡There is a billiards table in the lobby that actually gets used—it's a social hub in the evenings.
