The staff are super nice & helpful, I really like that the rooms have wood laminate floors (so much better than carpet), and the sound of the ocean while falling asleep and waking up is just priceless. Good dining options with ocean view next door and across the street, and the location is just perfect, at the half-way point for a Pacific Coast Highway trip from LA to San Francisco. Bonus: a working Triumph motorcycle and lots of car models in the reception, and cool motorcycle art in the rooms.

My son and I had an amazing stay at Coast Riders Inn. From the moment we arrived, Buddy, Vanessa and Jane made us feel welcomed and completely at home. They offered us homemade chocolate chip cookies upon arrival and explained to us the cool things to check out in the area. The rooms were super clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The retro microwave, coffee, machine, and fridge/freezer were absolutely delightful! And Buddy’s Lego collection is awesome! We look forward to coming back to Coast Riders next time we’re in Central California and staying at this very special place! We loved it!!

The motel was clean, and the staff was very friendly. The bed sheets were challenging. Each morning, the fitted sheet corners needed adjusting. The shower water would be scalding hot one moment and, after adjusting, very cold. The water pressure was very low. The breakfast was more continental-style.
