Stayed here for one night on a road trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles....really lovely Motel. Perfect location as only a few minutes walk to the beach and close to the highway (so we didn't get lost!) Lovely owners and nothing was too much trouble!

All we needed was a way station on our drive from Santa Cruz to Anaheim and this was the place. Very ordinary, tired room and furniture. Totally stripped down basic breakfast. Commercial muffins, dry cereal, waffle maker like many other places. Skipped breakfast and went to Starbucks. It was fine for what we needed, but nothing special. Not bad, not... More

I spent there one night and i was pretty happy. The room was ok in size with a tv, fridge and microwave. The bathroom was very big and clean, which is the most important thing for me. The breakfast was basically nothing, but we ate the rest if the last-night dinner, so the microwave was handy :-). Location is ok,... More

Nice enough little motel to explore Pismo Beach and Edna Valley wineries. The room itself was compact, but the bathroom was a good size. I did hear a fair bit of freeway traffic through the closed windows. Close enough to walk to some of the nice little restaurants and the beach. The pool wasn't heated, so I can't imagine it... More

The Ocean Palms was a pleasant, clean, and budget friendly little motel. The room was spacious and the bed was comfy. They could use some newer towels and could improve on the breakfast, but we were otherwise very happy with it.
