"Thanks for a beautiful stay! Great service!"

Hotel Pacific

"Hotel was a bit outdated. Door handles were loose on the doors. Deadbolt lock was broken from the inside of the room. You could hear every noise coming from outside the room. Beds were comfortable and staff was friendly and helpful. Location was great! Walking distance to everything."

Steinbeck Lodge

8/10 Good

"The room was recently completely remodeled, in great shape. They are clearly working hard to update this mid-century motel. The street is like many on the edge of town, mixed. There is a terrific diner a block west, new, excellent food and service."
