What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 216 guest reviews
The Swell Motel earns consistently strong praise for its convenient coastal location, genuinely friendly staff, and generous range of amenities — from kayaks and bikes to grills and a pool — that give it a laid-back, home-away-from-home feel. Recurring complaints are minor but worth noting: low shower water pressure and additional fees for basic items (such as bringing a cooler) struck some guests as unnecessary. Overall, sentiment across these reviews is overwhelmingly positive, with several guests returning for repeat stays.
