This is basically a couple driveways down from the famous Madonna Inn, but I'm sure it's much more affordable. Despite that, my room was excellent; everything I tried seemed to work, bed was comfortable, room itself was large enough and staff was very nice. The Denny's next door provided 10 percent off when showing room key, which was appreciated. Convenient location off Highway 101.

Good value, good location for driving the Pacific Coast Highway, cheaper than many other places near the coast but decent enough quality for the price.

The location is great, especially if you’re taking a train down south. Also close to the main street and a supermarket. The bathrooms were very clean. The staff were friendly, and the hostel do serve free pancakes for breakfast.
