Stayed here for going to Channel Islands NP, super close to Island Packers and visitor center. Room was fairly clean. Comfy and updated. Only complaint is that walls are very thin, if you have loud neighbors, you're going to hear them. Breakfast has been pretty good each day. Since they had flooding recently, they are waiving the $12 per day parking fee for now. I was surprised to learn about the parking fee as I didn't see anything on their site about it. Would stay here again overall.

Do NOT stay here. Classic bait and switch crooks. They advertise reasonable prices and then charge you DOUBLE a night with “incidentals”. I will never have any of my guys stay here for work.
