My partner lives nearby but we love coming to stay here to get some privacy. The A frames are so cute and clean! The owners are super nice and cool. We got them a cute turkey statue with hanging legs at the antique store in Oakland and it’s still part of their front lobby decor. :) I am partial to interstate exits that just have motels and truck stops so the location is great for me. I-5 is right there with traffic noises to lull you to sleep, but it’s not too close to the truck stop where you have to listen to them pulling in and out all night. Speaking of, there’s an adult store very handy if that’s your thing. Highly recommend the ranch!

I thought this was a good option for us because it was close to the I 5 and good value for the money.

Love the A-Frames
Personally I very much enjoyed the quirky throwback A-frame architecture, and it made the room quieter -- no connecting wall with neighbors. I only ever heard car doors. I also liked the proprietors a lot, very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, bed comfortable, plenty of towels and WiFi had good signal and worked great for streaming.

Perfect place to lay our heads for a few hours.
Fun little hotel, super retro, with cool little A frames, so no shared walls. Very vintage and some things outdated, but for the most part, we really enjoyed our stay. Super convenient off of I-5 and you simply can't beat the price. Front desk clerk was positive and welcoming. Thanks for a great stay, we'll see you again!

My unit had a very strong smell of smoke. I read reviews before booking and read nothing about smoky rooms so maybe I just got a bad room.

Nice, somewhat funky (in a good way!) 1960s era motel. Not a chain. Owner/operator is super nice and attentive. Great hot water and water pressure in shower, comfortable bed and HVAC fine. Striving to minimize plastic waste. Dog run outback good for pets. Close to Hwy 5. Cheap gas but not much else at exit.

Looks like it could be a dive joint, but it reminded us of our stay on Route 66 in the wigwams, just adorable and perfectly set up for us. You would think the freeway would be too loud, but it was tolerable. I would reccomend this place.

We weren’t expecting much when we booked this place but it exceeded our expectations. The rooms were very clean, the beds were nice and firm, the loft was fun and the staff was amazing and helpful. A great value. We ate at the K & R drive in and ice cream and burgers were delicious. Don’t hesitate to book your stay as you are driving through.

Safe, quiet, clean, and quaint. We had a bit of a septic tank smell in our bathroom, but it didn’t bother us too much and dissipated when we closed the door. Very comfortable beds and great little place to stop for the night. Fantastic value.
