Simple, clean accommodations but with character! Reminds me of the old motor lodges of yester-year. Small property, so you get to speak with the owners (who are also the housekeeping and maintenance staff). Owners were very friendly and accommodating (early check in). Location is walking distance to beach/pier/shops. Will stay here again when I'm in the area.

Classic Central Coast destination with charm, value and convenience. Super friendly and accommodating staff. Location is ideally located to the center of town but a block or 2 off to assure quietness and security. Walk to great surf, coffee, dining and shopping. Adjacent to the town super market. Bonus is some rooms have kitchens and the property has a quaint garden and sitting area.

OK but overpriced.
Room was fairly comfortable, very clean, but overpriced. On the day I left, the key would not turn in the door in the direction needed to lock the door. I could lock it from the inside but not the outside. Check in was very easy and the front desk was very helpful.

We had a great stay at Cypress Tree Motel. It’s a very quaint, interesting motel. Ellen the owner was very nice and accommodating. There’s a little park area in front where you can sit at tables and chairs and visit with other guests. We stayed in room # 5 ( Route 66). The whole inside of the room was themed(decorated) from the 50’s and 60’s. Very nostalgic for us. Best of all; the room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We will stay here again. Thanks Ellen!
