I went online to find an affordable place to stay in Point Arena. When I saw the web site for the Sea Shell Inn it looked clean and cute. I was actually excited to stay here. I am not picky at all about my lodging and am happy with just a place to crash as long as it is clean.... More

Do not stay here.. ever.. Full of Tweekers and drunks and some crazy red hed screaming at her kid...Felt so bad for her to have to be in this place .... Not even worth 70 bucks at all.... I would not be suprised if there were bed bugs running rapant at this place .. Just gross.. More

So Im not picky when it comes to a place to stay... Cleanliness is really all I wanted and a place to sleep. I happened upon this place while passing through Point Arenas. It was 12 at night and all that was open in this sea side town. I called and talked to the owner Ken, he said it was... More

Having not been put off by the previous reviews of the Sea Shell Motel, called about a month in advance to book a room for one night. Arrived in Point Arena at about 4 pm Friday afternoon and proceeded to check in to the motel. First impression was "shall we stay or continue to somewhere further and try to find... More

My neighbor next to my room walk out of his with a 2 ft. water pipe filled with pot. What a DUMP and a complete work of false advertisement about the hotel. There was this crazy local guy who thought he was the dictator Musolini running about talking in Italian Point Arena needs to close it down because of HEALTH... More

Well as one can see from the pictures this is not Trump Plaza, but I can guarentee you will likely get treated pretty close here! The man who runs the motel is just so nice, he will bend over backwards to get you anything that is available! Everything you desire may not be available in this tiny coastal town, but... More

yes, there are newer, cleaner places... and anything close to this locale are not what I would call affordable. But what puts the Sea Shell above others is just how so very human AND humane Mike and his kids are. No other place would have been as helpful as these guys have been... not in a million years. Sure, the... More

We almost didn't stay here because of someone's bad review. I'm glad I took the risk. With other lodging in Point Arena costing around $180/ night with taxes, the Sea Shell ($72 total with AAA discount) was a deal. It comes with the usual cheap motel problems, but the king bed was comfortable and there was cable TV, a microwave,... More

We stayed at the Sea Shell Motel and this place could really use some work to say the least. The carpet is torn and stained. You can actually see the cement through parts of the carpet. The bathroom tile is chipped throughout. The bedspread had holes and burns. They provide no shampoo and the place smells musty. If the owners... More
