the spots in the bathroom were drywall was fixed should be painted. The hallway between bathroom and bed area could use paint touch up too. I get in prime season this maybe tough to do however its quiet now so perhaps touch up paint in rooms not used. It seemed like the floor was buckled up or coming loose as you walked over some spots too. The pigeons sitting outside the door all night were loud so maybe put something on rafters to deter them from nesting / sitting there all night so they don't keeping guest up. You can hear them inside room. The staff was excellent. The Trailborn just has so much potential to be an even better stay with a few tweaks.

Liked: Amenities
Staff were very friendly, room was mostly clean, a menu for casa Colina in the room would have been amazing (but easy to find online). Housekeeping was fair, all shampoo, conditioner and body wash were empty. Some bugs squished on the blackout curtain, but nothing in the rest of the room. Shower needs a little better design but that isn’t a huge thing. Water just gets on the floor. Overall, it is a very nice improvement from a motel.

Friendly staff, walkable into town, nice heated swimming pool. Lovely room. Little bit of a shame that the restaurant closes so early in the evening. But this seems par for the course outside US cities - but worth noting for international visitors.

There were gnats in our room, lots of them. There was also a plunger left just outside our door partially in a bag throughout our stay. I was a little disappointed as this looked different in person, the lobby is accurate, but this is a motel. Clearly older and renovated, but I expected it to be nicer given the pictures. The room was large, beds were good.
