We were on a delightful road trip before and after a family reunion, and were here for one very restful night. Although we didn’t take in all the sights, we did rest well. Staff was friendly and helpful and room was clean and quiet.

Some of the rooms are remodeled. Get there early for those. It’s clean, bed was good but the pillows hard. ( bring your own). I like the way they did breakfast. Everyone very friendly. I loved the theme and decor of the place.

No complaints. The room was comfortable and clean. By the time you factor in the free breakfast, it’s a decent value too. The breakfast burrito is fabulous! I did find that the online price was cheaper than when I went in to book a room in person, so you might check before you walk in. Lescombes Winery and Bistro is just a couple blocks away and great for dinner.

For a lower priced property it was really very good. Pros: Very clean, excellent maintained grounds, high end sheets, fabulous very high bath towels, great free choices for hot breakfast, wonderful cook, server & busser (one person), breakfast room very cheerful, fabulous gift shop higher end merchandise. Cons: The bedspread was very scratchy. The room was incredibly clean but very dreary even with curtains open. The heating/ac unit worked well but front was broken on it. Cheapest shampoo, little bar soap & conditioner.
