It was pleasant, but I’d choose a different hotel for my next visit.
Pros:

The location was walkable to Marina State Beach. Really easy on and off the highway, and easy to locate. Coffee was good and breakfast was adequate.

Cons:

It was painted gray inside, and the floors were gray, so with the gray weather everything was a bit depressing, on the upside it was fresh paint! I love the fog at the beach, but….) Also, our microwave turned on but didn’t actually work. I meant to let the staff know but ran out of time to do so. When we arrived two staff were solving an issue a departing guest had. That guest wasn’t actually present, but the two employees chatted for at least 2 minutes before either acknowledged our presence. I didn’t expect them to drop everything, but it would have been courteous to say “We will be right with you”.

Pros:

It was close to the beach.

They do not clean these rooms at all ! The floors were also sticky!

Located by beach and near to shopping or eateries
Pros:

This is a wonderful hotel right by a state beach. They serve hot breakfasts every morning with a posting of menu for the week. Very clean and nicely appointed rooms. The staff is exceptionally courteous. Walmart is a couple if blocks away, there is a Dennys also only a couple of blocks away. If your inclined to get shopping at Costco or gas its in the nearby town South in Sand City or if you want to go to Target or Blaze pizza or go to the movies you can go to next town of Seaside which is literally the next exit going South on highway 1. Whenever I go to the coast I always enjoy staying here.

Pros:

The rooms were decent but when I showered I noticed the towels folded had dirty marks on them I called to request more towels and I was told I had to go pick them up in the office. After showering that’s just not something you want to leave the room for but it wasn’t so bad

Pros:

Staff is always friendly. The location is ideal. Breakfast is good and coffee is always available.

Cons:

We have stayed here several times and each time gets a bit worse. Our room wasn't very clean: there was hair on the floor and the towels were questionable. All three bottles in the shower were completely empty.

We chose this hotel for a small trip anniversary stay and it was extremely disappointing although we didn't let this
Pros:

The location was quiet and near a beach

Cons:

We didn't have hot running water night 1 and in the morning. Our microwave had no working buttons except start and only worked once. Cleaning was trying to come in around 9am but out checkout was at 11pm

Pros:

How close to the beach

Cons:

No rooms have a beach view. And the restroom was very small. You can't open the door all the way. Outdated ac/heat unit. Beds felt old and there were two different bed sheet sets on the beds.
