Guest Reviews
- Matthew Smallacombe (10/5): -
- Mark (6/5): -
- Manuela (4/5): Nicht zu empfehlen - Nichts Sehr abgewohntes, schmuddeliges Zimmer. Starker unangenehmer Geruch.
Laute Klimaanlage aus dem Nachbarzimmer gehört.
Ich habe mit dem dünnen Bettlaken gefroren, Tagesdecke darüber wohl für alle Gäste. Auf Wolldecke habe ich verzichtet.
- Duane Phelps (9/5): -
- claudine (7/5): - Étape d'une nuit sur la route. Le motel est correct et offre un petit déjeuner.
Le port de pêche prêt de l'hôtel est vraiment typique et offre des possibilités de dîner très agréable. Bien que le motel soit à moitié vide nous,avons été accolé à des chambres occupées par des clients envahissant les places de parking devant la chambre. La personne à l'accueil était plutôt froide et ne nous a pas proposé plusieurs choix ce qui aurait été tout à fait possible.
- Edith Jennifer (7/5): -
- Maria Elena (8/5): - Older motel but very clean.
- Evey (8/5): - Location
- Melinda (10/5): A gardener' delight wrapped around a motel - The gardens are exceptional around the motel. If you are are a gardener or nature lover, this is your place! The room was comfortable with a tub sized shower, the beds were comfortable.
- Soumyadeep (8/5): -
- Randi (7/5): It’s pleasant and easy to get to. - It’s clean, centrally located and the staff are pleasant. The shower was hot and I love a hot shower! The morning “breakfast” left a lot to be desired. The shower leaked so the water pressure was low.
- Montgomery (1/5): It was ok, but we would not recommend to anyone else or booking .com for that matter - What breakfast? Was very limited Room had damaged blinds on windows, chipped paint on lower doors . Bathroom knob was recently replaced but not painted. We did not ask for king room with hot tub, that it and shower does not drain. Management over charged us, more than twice booking fee, refused to call us back with explanation. Or even give us a copy of bill.
- Stephen (9/5): -
- Margaret (5/5): I'm glad we were here only one night because with the cochroach situation it was not hygenic or safe - The check in was easy. I got two rooms close together which was good. My nephew found a cochroach in his room. The rooms look like they haven't been painted or cared for it a long time. The baseboards looked beat to shit. The bathroom and the sink looked new and in pretty good condition. These rooms need some help.
- Paul (2/5): -
- susanu (1/5): - SURF=SHIT...!!! SURF=SHIT...!!!
- Carolina (6/5): -
- Juha (8/5): -
- David (9/5): - This was well above what I expected for the relatively modest price.
Easy access to everything in Ft Bragg.
Very quiet and no noise.
The only nit picky thing was there was some hair in the shower. Very minor. Nothing.
- Lisa (5/5): -
- Adele (7/5): Inexpensive and comfortable enough. - Very clean. I asked for and got a quiet room set back from the road. Excellent location for a motel. Hot water is fast and plentiful. Good lighting choices. Pillows could be improved. Standard cheap ones.
- Guest (8/5): -
- Connie (7/5): It was a good stay , no big noisy neighbors, worked great for me. - Nice location with walking distance to food ?
- KATHRYN (10/5): - Nice quiet room, lovely garden, friendly staff, good breakfast
- Desy (8/5): - Schönes sauberes Zimmer nette Hotelanlage
- Nancy (7/5): I had a pretty nice stay in the property. - The room is dog friendly and has decent bathroom. The shower gets hot quickly. The internet is stable so its suitable for remote worker like my partner. Staff are responsive. The bed size is also decent. The location iis very convenient close to any tourist attraction and downtown. The TV is locked so you cant login to streaming channels like netflix. Although the internet works well for remote worker, the office chair is awful. Staff helped change the chair with a dining chair which works better. Garden and dog park need maintenance. The pillow size is so small for grown ups. Theres only 1 bedside table.
- Robert (9/5): -
- Evan (8/5): Did the job! - Very clean, great staff.
- Michelle (6/5): Looks fine but not the best. No blanket, stinks like old plumbing, and the toilet leaked. - The room was clean and big with a refrigerator and coffee pot. The room was stinky like the plumbing was old or problematic. The toilet leaked. They didn't give you a real blanket, just some light bed cover thing that felt more like a scarf.
- Guest (9/5): -
- Christine (9/5): - The staff, beautiful landscape and the Fire pit.
The staff were quick to rectify the missing remote control No remote control. The bathroom containers were empty and sitting on the desk.
- Darcy (8/5): - Always have loved the garden areas and great price. The staff is friendly and helpful. It’s nice to have the mini breakfast in the office each morning. Beds were comfy and I liked they had a real coffee machine instead of a keurig. The dog park and fire pit are awesome! My family has a lot of memories here over the years so I’m happy to keep coming back. It could have been cleaner and better maintained in the room. My dog found a small bone somewhere in the room from a previous guest. Also the fridge had mold in it and smelled horrible so we kept our food in our ice chest. The bathroom door and some other areas had minor damage.
- Dorothy (5/5): Good Location, but room left a lot of room for improvement. - free parking and location proximity to preferred activities during stay Room had a lot of damage, including ripped curtain seems casing them to billow with the use of the central unit, furniture that was damaged, a sticky TV remote, and what looked like cigarette burns in the blankets of both beds (was supposedly a non-smoking room).
- Ashish (8/5): Room where clean..location is great. Has all the basic amenities - Location… goods spots to visit within 7-8 min drive
- Bela (1/5): - Drugs , unclean n cops n shady people. Danger for females Everything by
- Chuck (10/5): -
- Christi (1/5): - The location was good There was no shower curtain in the bathroom. I went to the front desk and asked for a shower curtain and while I was in there he called the maid service, this was nearly 10pm. The maid said he wasn’t done cleaning the 2 rooms and said he would get it to me. 20 minutes later still nothing so I went back to the front desk. The clerk said “I don’t know what I can say, I called him”. I said well why can’t he just stop and spend 2 minutes to get me a shower curtain. I said the room is vacant that he is cleaning. There is no reason why there isn’t a curtain. So he called the maid service again and his response was “will you come help me?” And he sounded annoyed. Still 10 minutes later nothing so I went to the vacant room where they were cleaning and asked again. Took another 5 minutes. They handed it to me and I put it in the bathroom. There were no apologies from either staff member. It was shown that I was an inconvenience asking for something that should’ve already been in the room.
The desk clerk said to me “there was a complaint from the guests and they checked out and the Manager told the maid service to clean that room.” My response was “I can see why there was a complaint”.
- Chuck (10/5): -
- Sal (9/5): Nice and affordable - Everything was good, the grounds, the staff, the Continental breakfast and maid service. The room was clean. Good value. Had disturbing neighbors fighting all night long for one of the nights. Drunk or High man pounded on our door numerous times during the night (2am) and early morning (7am). Police were called.
- Bryce (2/5): -
- Renea (5/5): Noisy even during the day. - I have stayed at this place many times over the past 20 years. Price is right Well it was very noisy this time. I stayed for 3 days & don't understand why I wasn't put in a room at the end since I was staying a few days. People slamming their doors when they leave. Just alot of noise. Plus I saw cockroaches this time. My room smelled a little too. Could of been cleaner.
- David (10/5): - Very comfortable. Great TV and cable. Bath and bed great.
- Ann (9/5): -
- Beverly (3/5): Fair - Garden Location
- Humberto (3/5): Expect what you pay for - Dog friendly, location, price. Dirty room, smells like cigarettes in a non smoking room. Room had cockroaches!!!
Beds where broken. TV remote not working.
- Diali (1/5): -
- Ulf (7/5): - Hygglig frukost
- Guerrero (4/5): room was stuffy, carpet was dirty, upholstered furniture was stained and dirty. - hot and cold cereal, brown bananas, old apples.. everything....
- Joseph (7/5): -
- Pamela (6/5): - Inexpensive, breakfast
- Ronald (10/5): -
- Lyvia (5/5): - Facile d'accès Pas très propre mais cela fonctionne pour 1 nuit et ne ressemblait pas tout à fait aux photos.
- Annalee (6/5): - Easy to find downtown location, close to everything. Was upgraded to a better cleaner room. Nice staff. Pet hotel with carpet. Not clean. Staff was nice enough to move us to a slightly cleaner room. Went during the off season and appears they are a resident hotel.
- Dougal (4/5): -

- Patricia (6/5): It was okay - Pretty yard Just two very tiny pillows.
- Mantien (5/5): -
- Jeff (8/5): Fine motel. - Very friendly staff Would be nice if lobby were open more hours
- Mirna (1/5): - Solo la ubicación Cobraron algo sin mi permiso de mi targeta un precio mas alto de lo q valía mi habitación
Y el manager no nos iso saber nada hasta q yo verifique mi estado de cuenta
Además las camas estaban sucias y el área de utensilios estaba muy sucia
Y no habían ni platos
La entrada de mi habitación había mucha basura
Los sofas estaban sucias
- Jeannie (2/5): A friend recommended this motel. This was the most unclean motel I've ever stayed in. Never again!! - Not much I liked about the motel except for clean towels. The room was dirty, (floor really dirty, sink stopper was broken, had to remove so water can go down, counter was sticky. Our head kept bumping into the towel rack in the bathroom. Too close to the door opening. Room had a bad chemical spray smell when entering. Unfriendly and not present staff. Breakfast not appetizing looking.
- Sean (10/5): Surprised at how nice this place was, will stay here again - Great value for the price Perfect
- Charlene (5/5): It was clean, but I wouldn't stay there again. - The location was easy to get back on the highway. The room was clean. Cleaning wasn't included in the reservation. You were on your own.
- Christine (1/5): Don't go there - Absolutely nothing. The room smelled really bad, I think old smoke. It was a small room and not in good condition. The bed was uncomfortable. Also there were teenagers from 8pm to 3am making a lot of noise outside so I couldn't get any sleep. Worse place I have ever been to. It could have been clean and not have such a bad odor. Also they could have told the kids to stop making all the noise outside my room.
- Elizabeth (10/5): I’ll be back to stay cause it’s so nice n clean n the room noticed was redone - Friendly , helpful , coffee in the morning Cars could hear from the street
- Beatriz (7/5): Agradable - Bien El olor de la habitación
- Barry (10/5): -
- Deborah (10/5): I will be returning next trip. - The refrigerator actually had a freezer. There was carpet on the floor. The big shower, with no bathtub, had great water pressure. The toilet had a hand bar on the wall to assist in using it. There was an extra blanket available. Everything was very clean. There was actually a place to sit down to eat breakfast. The room was comfortable and quiet. The gardens were beautiful. Staff was friendly and helpful.
- Tony (10/5): -
- Christopher (3/5): Got sent to 2 dirty rooms one with a used condom then our third room smelled like cigarettes. - I’ve stayed here multiple times and never had a problem, I love the location and the price and I have good memories from lots of trips there. We checked in then didn’t go to our room we went a got dinner before going to the room and when we got there and we’re excited to eat and sleep because we had an early morning ahead of us we were super disappointed to find our room to be dirty. Towels still used from last person, bed not made up and clearly had just had someone in it and trash in the room. Shouldn’t have been a big deal but they gave us ANOTHER room just for it to be in worse condition than the last. Wet dirty towels all over, bed clearly just been slept in and not changed, trash still left behind along with a used condom. By this point we were upset because it had already taken them 30 minutes to give us this “new room.” The first room we called and they apologized and said they’d handle it. 30 minutes of waiting my girlfriend finally went to the front desk to see what’s going on just for us to get sent to another dirty room. And then the third and final room wreaked like cigarette smoke. Finally we got to eat our dinner by 10 o clock and go to bed. Not normally ones to complain but this was too much negative for $150.
- Ezroy (1/5): - Very bad stay. Terrible room. A creepy guy even knocked on my door he was absolutely on drugs. Not safe and tricky.
- Gitego (8/5): -
- Marian (10/5): Close to the beaches and restaurants. - The beautiful grounds flowers and plants.
- Maria Regina (9/5): - It could have been a 10 if the breakfast was more substantial. Maybe add hard boiled eggs and some protein like ham or bacon?
The room was cute, very clean and we liked that it had a ref and microwave. Plus shower caps, WOW! Please upgrade your breakfast!

- Sal (10/5): Our new go-to place to stay - The location and staff were top notch. The room was clean and comfortable. The property was very nice with pretty gardens, a Gazebo, a small dog park, and places to just sit and enjoy the scenery. Plenty of parking. Good value for what you get. The morning Continental breakfast could be a little better although it wasn't what i would call bad.
- brenda (10/5): -

- Andrea (6/5): -
- Anniken (8/5): - Stort rom Vask utenfor badet, i samme rom som soverommet, så det forstyrret de andre som lå og sov
- Valerie (6/5): Not sure if we will go back. - The location and having a dog park, this was the 3rd time here and we enjoyed property previously. We arrived at 4:20 check in supposed to be at 4:00. Was told 45 minutes and our 2 rooms would be ready. Came back at 6:00 room still not ready. At 6:30 finally in 1 of the rooms and the 2nd wasn’t clean until 7:30. Also instead of helping the maid the manager just gave her a bad time.
