Rats!

I was so excited about spending our last night in California at the Sea Breeze Motel. I actually wasn't expecting too much from the motel itself, but was excited about having a view of the ocean from our room and being lulled to sleep by the sound of crashing waves. I have only 2 positive comments on our stay. We WERE a stones throw from the surf and Nick's Seafood Restaurant/Bar is very good. The room, however, was dreadful. I am reasonably sure nothing in the room has been updated for 20 to 30 years. The bed was hard and uncomfortable; the whole room had a look of worn out and ill-kept. While the bathroom was reasonably clean, the cracked shower floor was covered with an old tub mat and the plumbing made noises whenever an adjacent bathroom was used. All of this I could have overlooked if the pleasure of hearing the ocean had been possible. Around dinner time, our view of the ocean was blocked by the restaurant customer's cars. Shortly after we went to bed, the restaurant/bar's customers began leaving. After 30 minutes I was forced to close the windows due to the noise of footsteps, voices and car engines coming from both in front and behind our room. All-in-all, it was the worst place I have ever stayed.
