Good for families
Charming updated old-western motel style. Beautiful grounds and check in was quick. Secure lot with a handy laundromat and deli on site. Bathrooms are updated, but still on the small side because this is a renovation of an older place. Worked well for our family.

It was a nice place, but their shampoos weren’t good quality and the bath soap was empty for several days before they refilled it even after housekeeping was by. Other than that it was a lovely place.

Room advertisement misleading
The room was advertised to have 3 full-size beds, we arrived to find that there were only 2, and a very old, uncomfortable sofa-bed. We further found the room to be much more outdated than what we anticipated, and breakfast were pastries and coffee set up in the small hotel lobby.

Staff very nice.
All the staff were very nice and helpful, and the location was fantastic. Everything went smoothly. The only minor issue was that the walls were quite thin, so I could hear noise from the neighboring room. However, I used earplugs at night, so it wasn’t a big problem.

I traveled with my 3 daughters for Christmas. The staff was very welcoming and were super great the whole time we were there. We felt safe, the hotel is beautiful. The grounds are very well kept and the landscape is beautiful. Pool was clean and warm. The umbrella in the room was a huge bonus as it rained almost everyday. We would definitely stay again if we ever travel to the SF bay area again.

Amazing place to stay
This is our second stay. The first one was 7 years ago. Remembered how clean, and comfortable it was when I made this reservation. Was even more impressed this time. Clean, comfortable, aesthetic and well taken care of.
