We loved everything about the Sea Otter Inn. The picnic basket breakfast delivery was adorable and the food was just as good! I think the only negative thing I could say about it is that the bed we had was a bit uncomfortable.

It was so peaceful and charming. I highly recommend if you need a retreat from your busy life. Across the street is the most beautiful ocean views and walk path. I took three walks a day.

This is an excellent property at a reasonable price. The location next to breathtaking coastal views is what these hotels offer. We really liked the shower at this one. Free parking. Everything was great.

We will never stay here ever. They use harsh chemicals to clean the room and we had to air the room out. Problem is the windows dont have screens on them and the mosquitoes and bugs were sure to get in. Plus they had a power outage and we were not offered other accommodations until we went looking into it. We chose a refund instead of accommodations. After they promised a refund they reneged on the agreement. There is other more hospitable and affordable places we have stayed at than this. Dont be fooled over some fake review or IG influencer.

Unfortunately we did not enjoy our stay. Our room was clean and the person working at the front desk was kind, but overall I would not recommend this motel. There was a loud noise that kept us up all night which sounded like the sewer system or the air conditioning system-not quite sure. My whole family didn't sleep because of it. The water in the shower stayed hot for about 5 minutes and the rest was freezing cold, the lock on the bathroom door is broken, the curtain in the room is broken, and the lamp in our room didn't work until the person at the front desk fixed it for us.
