Again, it was nice to stay where I went through grades 1 - 3 and have the room next to where my Mother taught first grade! Also, this was down the street from where our home was at 531 Lomita! MANY MEMORIES

First time staying here. Great staff, very friendly and helpful.The rooms were great and the beds were very comfortable. Really clean rooms with great coffee. I loved the courtyard and the little desert animals that visit. Would definitely recommend this place especially to big groups looking to stay together. Will be back soon. courtyard
