This motel has U.S. 101 on one side and a beautiful beach on the other - a great location! It's about 2 miles south of Crescent City proper, with one of those miles being the beautiful, very walkable beach. There are other hotels and restaurants along the highway. The room was very clean and well laid-out. As you can see... More

Thank you for taking the time to post such a nice review. It is tough to have privacy and a view of the beach all at the same time. Enclosing the patios would hurt the view drastically. I will have to agree with you about the owners. They are super nice and my wife and I are blessed to be... More

We stayed there 2 nights May 13thand 14th,2013. The location is awesome! The kids had so much fun looking for sand dollars. The staff was friendly and the rooms clean. We enjoyed stepping right out onto the beach. Just awesome!!

Great price for a clean, basic hotel on the beach in California. Walked right out our dooe to the beach and collected sand dollars. Great views and access to the beach. No phone service and not much help from the front desk for Internet but we got it figured out. No complaints.

When I read that the hotel was right on the beach, I didn't realize that you could open your door and practically step out on the sand! What a pleasant surprise! I was looking for a budget hotel on the way to the Redwood National park, and was so pleased to find a reasonably priced place to stay, that was... More

Thank you so much for the kind words! I guess you can relate to the statement on our website that says, “If you get any closer to the beach than from Crescent Beach Motel rooms, your blankets would get wet!” We hope that you can come again soon… and stay longer as you suggested. More

We had seen this motel on a previous trip to Crescent City so booked it because of the location. We knew it was a "no frills" motel, but the amenity we were mainly interested in was to go to sleep hearing the ocean! Sadly we were very disappointed - it is not possible to hear the ocean unless you keep... More

I chose this place because it was right on the beach. Also, my husband and I received a warm welcome and a bonus of breakfast in the morning (instant oatmeal and fresh apples/oranges). The room was clean and comfortable and the view was amazing. I would stay here again and recommend this to friends.

The hotel is located on the beach. The shore is only a short walk away. The rooms are older, but clean. And the value was good. The employees were very friendly and helpful. I would definetly stay here again.

We arrived at Crescent Beach Motel late at night, with a pre-paid reservation and immediately had doubts as we approached the building. The look of the building from the outside doesn't really do justice to how nice the rooms are inside. Definitely much better than we had expected, considering we paid only $90 for an ocean front room. This is... More

My daughter and I stayed there at the beginning of our Spring break. The beach is right out the back door! The hotel is close to area walking trails. The room was comfortable and clean. Staff gave us good advice on places to go.

We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were dated but very clean. The views are spectacular. We witnessed an amazing sunset over the water right outside our room door. We would definitely stay again if we're in the area.
