    Perfect location

    Just stayed for one night to check this place out for a longer stay down the road. It was nice, clean, and close to the places I wanted to visit. I will definitely return. Nothing fancy, but met all my and my dogs needs. The check-in time window is just 3 hours…from 3pm to 6pm which I would have preferred check-in to go at least until 9pm. That being said, my dog was happy, so I was too. Will stay here again and will recommend to friends.

    Clean and efficient

    Good for dogs

    Gualala on Highway 1 has no super chargers. We fully charged our Tesla in Petaluma. There is a charger for all electric vehicles near the office. The room was quiet, comfortable, and clean. The shower delivered hot water; however, my husband complained that the shower was too low for him.

    Very nice owner and wonderful location

    Small, locally owned business. Arrived after hours (the office closes at 6pm) and had to pick up my key with my name on it from the mail box in front of the office. Luckily the owner called me just before closing to make sure I was aware of how to check myself in after hours.

    The rooms are small and cozy. It has the standard TV, air conditioning, microwave, mini fridge, coffee machine, and shower essentials in the bathroom. Bonus was the gas fireplace in my room! But I came in summer so I didn't get to use it. The room was very small (in the single bed suite). Just enough space for two people and a 50 pound dog to be comfortable, so keep that in mind. If you let the office know you are bringing a dog they will leave treats in the room for you when you arrive.

    The outdoor area was cute but I didn't use it. Directly next to the fire pits was a trail called the Coastal Bluff Trail(?) that is great if you love hiking. 7 mile trail right outside your room. As of writing this review they don't serve continental breakfast anymore but there is a grocery store one building over from the Inn and another one across the street, as well as a bakery.

    Beautiful beach for a dog to run

    Large comfortable convenient room. Oh what a beautiful beach for a dog to run and run some more.

    Beautiful location on the beach. Old, small, and dated rooms

    Arrived "after hours" even though it was only 8:15 PM. Eventually found the key to my room in an envelope under the lobby door mat. About 8:30 opened the door into "my" room to hear a man in the dark screaming bloody murder. Turns out they double-booked a room, and the first couple there went to bed early.

    Had a hard time contacting the after-hours emergency number due to no cell coverage (this town is remote, and only Verizon works). Eventually borrowed a phone and got a hold of the on-site staff who were very apologetic and got me into a new room. Finally got to start unpacking 45 minutes after my arrival at 8:45PM.

    My room was very small with dated, rustic decor. Bed wasn't very comfortable. Good water pressure in the shower.

    The motel has amazing beach access and a pretty cool fire pit area with plenty of locations to walk your pups. These last features keep this from being a one or two bone motel.

    Disappointment

    Room was small and run down; not consistent with rating.
