El Caminante Bar & Bungalows

4.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (57)
"Quaint remodeled motel into an Adobe Bungalow setting on Route 1. Ocean right there and walking distance to beach and restaurants for sunsets. Room share common doors to other rooms and you can hear everything next door. Not ideal if you’re looking for privacy and intimacy. My bungalow didn’t seem to have the same level of amenities as others but was nice. Route 1 traffic noise is heard as is the Amtrak trains going by outside. Has a lot of character. Overall I would rate it a 3.7."

"The hotel is very clean, updated with modern fixtures (excellent shower!), comfortable bed and the manager is very helpful. The rooms are smaller, as was customary when it was built, but this is one of the best remodels I've ever seen of motels from that era. Also, a huge TV! The heater/air conditioner is loud, but if you can get past that, you'll have a clean, pleasant and affordable stay. "

"We had a wonderful stay. The property was beautiful and having the ocean right out the back door was just what we wanted. It had everything we needed. The only issue we had was getting our guest through the gate. The guard gate did not have their info and it was almost impossible to get someone from property management to call them directly. Calling Vacasa, they gave me the run around. It was the guard who gave me a direct number to someone who ultimately got my guest in. All in all, we had...
