Wittle Inn

Unexpectedly delightful! This is an old "auto court" motel from 1938, updated. Simple clean - residential, houses on both sides, quiet as could be, just a few blocks off El Camino. Such a surprise.

Good Value

The room is not cramped and was clean. The heater worked properly and it was not difficult to set a comfortable temperature. This appears to be a family-run place, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I did not use the kitchenette, and I am not sure the stove (and oven) was hooked up to the gas. The kitchen had a mini-refrigerator, microwave oven, coffee maker, and small table. The Wi-Fi worked very well and was fast enough for my needs. The price was very reasonable for the area.

Parking is a little different, with no marked spaces. It appears that you can park on the other side of the street (3 hour parking from 8 am to 6 pm) if you cannot park on the property. The lobby is not constantly staffed, you need to ring a bell and wait to be buzzed in. I was unable to figure out how to change the channel on the TV. Only one TV channel (channel 3) had a signal, and that only had the History channel. Perhaps another remote was needed to change the channel fed to the TV.

The location was excellent for my needs. The owner was very friendly and the room was always cleaned very well. Channel selection on the large flat screen was very varied.

There was not an ice machine but I could also go to the front desk and get enough ice for my needs.
