    Not ready for prime time

    I really wanted to like this place, but it has some issues. There was a serious plumbing issue that caused the room to be unusable. The property managers were reluctant to even move me to another room! It was after 9pm, so finding another room would be troublesome at best. There is also some light construction around the property that is not safely cordoned off creating potentially dangerous situations for children and pets. That being said, the rooms are pretty small but quaint. The property itself is between a dog-friendly alehouse with great food and a coffee place (not dog-friendly). Maybe I'll try this place again in the future when the reviews get better, but for now there are better options in Shell Beach.

    Good things come in small packages

    Room is very small but well appointed & our dog was welcomed. Manager was very pleasant and helpful.

    Pleasantly surprised!

    I was hesitant at first because it’s an older motel but it’s been completely updated. The room was clean and spacious and very comfortable. We stayed in the “family suite” (1king and 1 queen)because my husband just had rotator cup surgery and the extra bed came in handy. It was myself, my husband, my Doberman, my dachshund/terrier mix and my service dog (Scottish Terrier) we were all very comfortable and to take the dogs out it was just a short little stroll through the quiet neighborhood. We stayed 3 nights during the Thanksgiving holiday and will definitely stay again in the future!

    Great location!

    Accommodations were basic, very clean, and totally workable with two medium-sized dogs. Might be a little tight with bigger dogs. The neighborhood had several good restaurant choices with outdoor seating options, and our dogs enjoyed two dog friendly beaches in the area: Olde Port Beach in Avila Beach, and the lovely tide pools below the cliffs just down the block from the Inn (no, we did not let them disturb the tide pool inhabitants). Would definitely stay again.
