Villa Motel

10/10 Excellent

"After a long, exhausting day driving up on Hwy 101, I called three hotels in the area looking for a late check-in around 10 PM. Villa Motel stood out immediately — the staff was by far the friendliest on the phone and didn't hesitate to accommodate me. The room was spotless and well maintained. Knowing I needed rest, they kindly allowed a late check-out too, which made a world of difference after a tiring day on the road. What truly set this place apart was the checkout experience. When I asked about a nearby café for a good chai latte, the owner went above and beyond — offering me a complimentary cup and a snack on the house. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and deeply appreciated. Parking was free and easy, great access to Hwy 101, quiet surroundings, and outstanding value. This is exactly the kind of place road trippers dream of finding. Highly recommend and will absolutely be back!"

Edgewater Inn And Suites

8/10 Good

"The room was very antiquated and outdated. The tub had black stains in it and I was not happy with that. The staff on the other hand was remarkable. We could not get the remote or TV working and we came in and figured out the plug needed to be reset. It’s not necessarily a beach view, more of a marina view. The breakfast was really nonexistent. You could ask for a piece of fruit or a granola bar and they had tea and coffee. There was nothing really else. The keys kept having to be reset as they were old as well. For the price we paid, I did expect more than what was offered. I’m not sure that I would give this property another chance."
