The staff were wonderful! Daily housekeeping and fresh towels, front desk and grounds staff all super friendly and attentive. Loved this place! Chairs all over can find a quiet solo spot to read or go sit by the pool and socialize. Loved the 24 hour coffee bar. Everything was perfect for a bargain price!!

Rooms very clean, STRONG AC which was amazing. Staff was super friendly. They offer alot too, towels, beach equipment, games etc. They offer live music and a movie night where owner? (Super nice dude) asks guests what movies they should play so thats pretty thoughtful of them in my opinion. Easy parking was a big bonus too, zero regrets staying here. I only have two downsides to this place but it doesnt change the 5 star review. The breakfast was a little meh... just some bagels, muffins, ceral and yogurt with fruit. Nothing crazy? But hey, it got the job done and tasted fine so again, not a complainer just my own personal opinion on it. The other thing im just personally complaining about is the pool size, its pretty small, and only 3 feet deep. But it got the job done when it was hot, and we needed a dip(theres a thing called the ocean anyway so dont knock this place over the pool size). Over all excellent stay. The owner remebered it was my girlfriends birthday the next day after we were talking to him and we were unexpectedly given a bottle of some wine! I highly recommend this, even as a couple of younger 20 year olds this was a great stay.

Great staff, clean room and comfy bed. It’s a vibe. It’s not the Ritz, but it is a quaint Inn hidden in the valley. I really liked it.

Very pleasant to have the live music several days per week. Breakfast was good but started too late ( 7am). The mountain views are stunning. They lend you beautiful beach towel, and the place is very quiet. Beds are comfortable and you have a fridge and microwave inside the bedroom.

There is a broken bridge so you have to drive around a few farms to get to it. But it is worth it. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Live entertainment even on a Wednesday night. And she was good. At least 10 cats wandering around the property. Room very clean. Close walk from car to room. Beautiful mountain views. Special hotel. My second time here.
