The property is older and across the beach which can be reached from an overcrossing on PCH. Be in good health to do that though, as there is a fair number of steps. They have an underground parking garage that costs $10 per night of your stay, which for what one pays for a "premium room" I'm taken back somewhat.
The view from the room was as advertised as we had a ocean view. Room size was comfortable, but aside from the bed and TV's, furniture was outdated. Room acoustics are questionable, as PCH is right in front of the hotel and traffic is constant, except for most of the overnight hours. There is also a train track adjacent to the beach, which around midevening when the freight train passes, you will feel the room shake like a mild earthquake. (Our room was on the second floor). The best part of the room was the view from the balcony, as we could enjoy the ocean views from there.
The complimentary breakfast was adequate. Hard boiled eggs, dry and wet cereals, make your own waffles from a batter, and some fruit and danishes.
One of the employees that assisted us throughout our stay, Carlos was very friendly and helpful. That made a impression on us, as customer service is always important.
For the price of the room, I would perhaps consider another Motel, based mostly on the "aged rooms and the traffic noise" But understanding when you are looking for an ocean view stay, you will pay a premium in most places.
