Great small town hotel

Staff was low so breakfast wasn’t available but coffee, teas, and juices were all day. Staff was kind and very helpful. Area was charming around hotel and great place to come back to after Yosemite. Hotel is in the middle of some maintenance projects but overall a quaint and quiet place to stay. Water pressure was amazing!

Stay somewhere else!!!

I have never written any comments before on hotel or restaurants but this was due! Carpet was stained, bathroom had been redone, which was best part, not enough outlets, only one channel on TV worked staff came up and checked out and said oh we have had trouble with that, no fix. The ironing board was hung on wall behind window curtain, no closet or anywhere to hang anything and no hangars. Extremely Overpriced!!!! Site shows fruit and danish, and one review said free breakfast but never saw any food so they may have been confused about hotels when they wrote review. Nice little town and friendly people, restaurants reasonable and good food, just stay somewhere else! Very disappointed!

Choose a different hotel

I have pictures and video. The TV didn’t work. It had picture but no sound they brought up a new TV had no picture no sound that was the only extra TV they had when we went to shut the curtains when we got there they were all ripped and falling off the rails there was holes in the sheets holes in the bedding. The carpets were stained. The bed felt like they had crumbs in them. I had to remake the bed first night we slept on top of everything second night. I asked for fresh sheets.

The hotel itself was very comfortable and clean. The bed was comfortable. A little dated but we kinda like that charm. The pool was clean. Con: All the dinning options in the area were obnoxiously expensive. Next time we will be eating noodle cups in the room lol. But I’d totally stay here again.
