There was no breakfast but that wasn’t needed as there is an absolutely wonderful cafe a short stroll down the Gualala bluff trail called Trinks that was fantastic, there BBLT is a must try and take it for lunch later. This location was perfect, right outside is a wonderful 1/2 mile bluff trail with lots of benches to sit with the dogs and watch the ocean. The manager checking us in had everything ready, super organized with handouts showing how to use the TV remote and the heater/air remote (didn’t need!). She even came over as we were getting the dogs out and said hello, later I saw her own very cute bull terrier on their own walk. A lovely dog friendly facility, dogs on leash and everything is fine. It was quiet, the kitchen was a nice bonus I wasn’t expecting, it had a stove, microwave, fridge and sink and a nice kitchen table. It had light rain on Saturday so we didn’t get to hang out on the patio but there is one with several tables and chairs to enjoy a snack, also some wooden chairs lower down facing the ocean where the fire pit is, which we also didn’t try out but you do need to supply your own wood (tip - there is an amazing grocery store right next door called Surf Market). Room tip - the double bed rooms are roomier, if you’re traveling with dogs or even if not, I’d recommend the double beds for the extra room, nice chairs for sitting too! We were in Rm 116.

Okay, so this will sound silly but the handle to get the shower started was really tough to get started, I was afraid to pull the handle too hard but it did work, I’d recommend they have their maintenance people swap it out before something happens but it did work just fine. The bathroom sink water pressure was very strong, it’s not a complaint but be aware or you might get wet!

A cute funky motor inn, clean and everything worked well. Jade the owner/manager is a super friendly lady. Right on the beach and dog friendly. If you are driving up the coast and don’t want to pay for an expensive place with amenities you want use because you’re just traveling this is a great spot. Easy walking distance to some restaurants and grocery,

Rooms are smallish and my room could have used better lighting and a place to plug in a phone. But the bathroom had excellent lighting. This is not a fancy hotel but economical, quiet and fine for a short stay.

We arrived late after a long drive on the West Pacific Coast and it felt to soothing to arrive in this warm and comfy place. Everything was made easy for us to check-in on our own, the owner had the kindness to put us in an ocean view room. The motel area is very peaceful and beautiful and Gualala in itself is a wonderful little place. The owner was absolutely kind and friendly, she recommended us a wonderful coffee place. We would come back for sure, our stay was short but this motel was such a happy relief to arrive in!😊🌺

View was great, room was clean and had all the basics, town was lovely. Staff was very helpful.

(for reference my husband is a contractor) Shower head was mounted into the tub surround, which caused the shower head to be too low even for two 5'6" people. Also the shower fixtures weren't properly done so they were loose. Seal at the bottom of the entry door has issues as well and will probably be leaking soon if it's not already. We were only in for one night and in good weather, so these weren't a big deal but would not make a longer stay pleasant.

Chose this hotel simply as it was about halfway on our road trip leg, We didn't expect much, and just booked on price and were really pleasantly surprised. The Motel had a charming log-cabin feel about it and the rooms were large and very clean and way better appointed than we expected. The inn was right by the ocean and we had nice sunsets and wonderful sunrise walks overall really enjoyed our stay. The town is very quiet and only has limited dining options, so it was great to see a detailed guide of all the options and closing times for everywhere, very thoughtful

We never got to meet any staff, they had gone before we arrived and were not around in the morning. The key was left and check-in was hassle-free but a bit weird not seeing anyone.

We had easy access to the bluff trail and a beautiful view of the ocean. The room has a kitchen so we could fix our own meals. It had two armchairs and a sofa, so it was very comfortable.

I'm not used to an electric stove. The indices on the electric cooktop were rather worn, so it was difficult to figure what setting was high or low.

Our hotel room was very clean, quiet and comfortable.  The front office staff was very friendly and personable. Perfect location!

 Our room had a kitchenette, but there were no utensils or plates. We could have used a couple of spoons to stir our morning coffee and eat some breakfast yogurt. Also, the sheets smelled like they had been washed in a scented detergent.  This is a challenge for people who are allergic to scented products. Neither of these items would interfere with us staying at this property again however. 

love this place! it's walking distance from all the local shops, cute small town. The beds were super comfy. And a kitchen to boot! Also a fire pit outside, and trails to walk!

Not enough pans, dishes, things to cook with, since a stove is provided. Only a dish strainer and wash cloth and towel.. Had to make do with the local restaurants.

We loved the location, being able to walk along the water and see the sunset was a major plus for us.

The room was a little small. We had to be able to fit a crate in there for our pet, but with the crate open we had very little space to move about. Bathroom is huge though. I never understand that. I don't spend that much time in a bathroom.

Location is excellent, right off of Route 1 and near several restaurants in Gualala. There is a very nice seating area where you can bring back food and watch the waves come in. Motel is quiet and the owners are very friendly. Price was also affordable. Really a great value for the money especially in this area.
