After a long day of driving, we arrived to a band playing Scottish music and a restaurant full of friendly people! Sat with some locals and another couple from Wisconsin! The motel view was phenomenal! Pork chop and ribs were delicious!

Everyone was so nice.. The dining room/ menu was great. We loved sitting out in the lobby reading and looking out at the gorgeous view.. The was a nice walking/hiking path right up the road that took us up and out over the ocean to see the seals... It was a relaxing wonderful time.

The property location is very beautiful but a little difficult to find on the gps. Recommend to get there during daylight as it is a bit difficult to see the building from the road at night as it’s on a small hill. The view from the rooms during the day are amazing. The front desk is very nice and friendly.
