Room was clean. The 2nd floor has stairs only. Disappointed that the pool is not clean or working. We were looking forward to enjoying a pool since it was hot today….

Enjoyed the clean room! Housekeepers were friendly. Also liked the LVP flooring and updated sink and countertops. Didn't care for the heater/air conditioner being so high up I had to stand on a chair to turn it on though. But all in all it was a great place to stay.

Staff is very communicative. I checked in after hour and the staff provided me the checkin instruction via text. I had a last minute meeting, which would run over the normal check out time for an hour. The hotel was able and kind enough to accommodate my later check out time request and waived the late check out fee.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Easy on/off the 101. An older property, but clean spacious rooms and a pool. Very reasonable room rates. Most of the rooms and parking lot are up a hill from the registration office, very quiet up against the hills above the Madonna Inn. Staff is friendly and helpful. I had trouble figuring out the controls on the wall heater/AC unit, but all I had to do was call the front desk on the room phone and the nice guy at the front desk came right up and set it for me. My room was on the 2nd floor at the end, nice & quiet with pretty views of the hills and valley below. There's a Denny's right next door to the registration office and you get 10% off if you show them your room key (or room key sleeve if you already checked out).
