What a cute, well maintained little hotel! I needed a quiet place to finish some work, and I got that. My room was quiet and the bed quite comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was one of the best free pickup breakfasts I've had at a small hotel.

We loved our stay at the hotel. We were winding down from our roadtrip along the central coast and truly appreciated the cleanliness and the chance to reheat some of our meals from the week. The staff was very accommodating. The private patio was also a plus.

This was a delightful stay, the property was very clean, quiet, and beautiful! The staff was friendly and helpful. The full breakfast was delicious as well as their complementary snacks and coffee machine! The only suggestion we have is to consider upgrading to a heated pool as in the bay area the weather is unpredictable for the most part cold, my kids were really looking forward to enjoying the pool but did not expect it would be as cold as it was, even at 3:00pm! Overall, we will definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.
