Crescent Beach Motel

What guests think

Crescent Beach Motel earns strong praise for its unbeatable beachfront location and sweeping ocean views, with guests enjoying direct access from many rooms and decks, creating a relaxed, value-focused base for beach walks and coastal exploring.

Service is frequently described as warm and helpful, with smooth check-in/out and responsive assistance, including after-hours support. Rooms are simple and dated, with mixed bed comfort, occasional maintenance issues, and limited in-room amenities such as often no microwave or fridge and no AC. Cleanliness is generally good, though several reviews note stained carpets, odors, or missed housekeeping, and noise from the highway or thin walls can bother light sleepers. Expect a no-frills, beachfront stay centered on views and easy access to the sand.

Clean room that is right on the water. Old motel that has been renovated. It was prefect for our young kids to explore the beach one day and the Redwoods the next. The only bummer was no microwave in the room. They had two available near the office though. The highway is loud, but we were able to sleep through it. We slept with the slider open, because there is no AC or fans in the room.

Lovely motel right on the water. Walk right out of your room to the beach. Chairs are available on the deck to watch the water. I loved listening to the surf at night.

We had a porch out our back slider with chairs to sit and enjoy the views. The beach was absolutely gorgeous and you could walk down to it easily. The room was not as pleasant an experience. Room smelled clean, sheets did not look clean, luckily we had our own. Shower looked clean but would back up by the time you were done washing your hair. Took showers like we were in a camper. All that being said, I would go back again- the location was amazing.

Check in was very easy. Parking was super easy right outside of the room. Not every room looks like the pictures - many do not have a direct ocean view, but it is easy to walk around the property and see from the back. It is very easy to hear people in the neighboring room and outside, so if you need absolute quiet to sleep, I would recommend bringing earplugs.

The staff were amazing…helpful and accommodating esp Sandra who took care of an issue. The hotel is dated, but clean. It was nice to have a break room area next to the front desk that housed coffee, hot water for tea and hot chocolate, an ice machine and a microwave since there was not one in the room. A small fridge was delivered to our room when we left which will add a bit of convenience.

Parking was easy and was pet-friendly. We booked a garden view room but it was mostly parking and road view. Our room coffee machine didn’t work. The bathroom air conditioner was a window, If we decided to open the window, people who wanted to go to their rooms could easily see inside the bathroom and toilet. They hadn’t provided new toilet paper or tissues, and they ran out in less than half a day. The floor carpet was not clean.

They left 2 keurig pods for us to walk to the office and get coffee. There was also a microwave by office to use. The staff was very friendly and the room was quiet.

My dog and I enjoyed a peaceful evening sitting on the deck and watching the waves at sunset. The room was clean and quiet with comfortable beds. The bathroom sink wasn’t draining quickly and one of the lights in the room didn’t work, but the overall experience was great for the price.

You don't stay here for a luxury hotel, you stay here for the incredible location to the beach! Lay in bed and watch the waves crash, or walk 50' to the beach! The beds are old and springy, it's very outdated but it's clean. The office staff is very nice.

The location is indeed amazing! We arrived at 3pm and was able to enjoy the low tide of the gorgeous beach. Room is decent size, beds are comfortable, the bathroom and shower room is quite outdated , really needs upgrade . The site manager Shelly is a super friendly and warm person. Would recommend to ppl who want to enjoy the outdoor experience and have moderate expectations of the stay.

Okay-ish room, gorgeous location. Property was listed as self check in, but it is not, which caused a lot of stress for me as I was traveling from quite far and the office closes (potential to not be able to check in). However, the front office worker did stay a few min after her shift to let me check in, which I really appreciated.
