We spent my birthday enjoying the area and stayed at here. Very accommodating and so friendly. Close to the beach and places to eat! Nice to stay somewhere other than a corporately owned motel. Hope we can go again!

We stayed here before a few years back. Shell beach Inn (or motel as it was then) was billed as a "little treasure by the sea". Its still there hasn't changed much at all. The freeway seems busier there is a bit of road noise (being from London not a big problem for us) its a fairly laid back place... More

This inn is ADORABLE. It has lots of charm. It is a three minute walk from the beach. It's cute, comfortable, has a pool (although we didnt use it) and is a fantastic value. I really recommend staying here if you are looking for something cute, affordable and aren't looking for anything too fancy. Each room has a tv and... More

Shell Beach Inn is located 5 minutes from the gorgeous Central Coast shoreline. It's a beautiful location for sightseeing the area. The room was "old school," but in a good way. Everything was clean. Bed was comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was great. Nice that they have a microwave and small fridge in the room (along with a coffee... More

Cute little 50's retro place, 10 rooms I think, a few minutes walk to the ocean down a neighborhood street. Room with one queen bed was on the small side but had everything we needed including mini fridge, microwave, hair dryer, iron and old-school tv. Bed had an old-fashioned bedspread that most places today have done away with because they're... More

To begin with, this hotel is small, clean, very pleasant, with a great location! I liked the attention to decor in our room -- it had a nice feel. But what makes it really special is the owners. They went out of their way to welcome us even though we had a super-late check-in, and they made sure we had... More

A really quiet and modest place in a great town in Central California. Walking to everywhere and super nice innkeepers who are so helpful in making sure you don't go without or miss anything. Clean rooms with irons and refridgerators, coffee and hot water that doesnt run out or change temps on you! Pool too.

Let start, You get to hear the freeway all night. No towels in the bath room.Pool was not heated like they say it was. Paint was comming off of the tub and shower, and all the furniture in the room. 100.00 a night, what a joke,we got takin !!!!!

We stayed 7 nights here and it was marvellous. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the service was excellent. Just a short walk to the beach and only a few yards from a good choice of eating places and stores. We would definitely stay there again. The town itself is a perfect base to discover the delights of... More
