Beautiful property with a very historic Old California feel. The room we stayed in (111) on the first floor had massive vaulted ceilings and extremely tall windows. It made for a very dramatic look. The bed is very comfortable and the complimentary drinks in the mini fridge were a nice touch. The exposed shower area is different and the lack of privacy there and in the separate toilet room was unusual. The barn door leaves a 1-inch gap so there’s almost no privacy at all. Other than that, it’s a lovely place to stay!

Beautifully appointed hotel. You can tell that a lot of thought and effort went into the design. It has a historic feel to it but it is remodeled and modern. Comfortable rooms with large shower. Nice ambience. Very walkable to restaurants and bars.
