Nicely renovated Inn

Inn is located close by to shopping and restaurants. It has been renovated, so is nice and clean. Check in was quick and everything in the room worked well. A/C was a little noisy, but was tolerable. Would stay here again.

The manager was super rude. I booked 2 rooms and they gave my room away and then the manager started swearing at me after I showed I have 2 rooms booked. Ruined my vacation.

The beds were comfy. I thought the room was dingy; dusty in parts and hair on the floor. I felt that the cleanliness of the room was not great. The area around the property was old and not great. The place was fine for a in & out place.

This place was awesome!! They got me an early check in after a very long drive with a grumpy 3 year old. But she instantly cheered up when she saw the hotel was her favorite color!!! The staff were friendly, and so helpful, first easy part of my day. The details of the hotel just so cute, even down to the room cards, so fun. Everything was very clean, coffee maker looked new, honestly, so pleased, we will be back, 100%.

Overpriced

Staff person who checked us in was unfriendly. She took a phone call and then left without giving us a room key. Her co worker had to finish the check in. There is an Indian restaurant on the property. The strong smell of curry in our room was a bit overpowering. Would not stay here again.

Ant infestation in the bathroom. Loud, staff did nothing to help the noise problems even after us saying something 3x and it was past their posted quiet time and we have a toddler who couldn’t sleep due to people jumping on the beds above us. Blood stain on our bed when we came in, although they did change this for us and sliding doors did not lock. They did do a temporary fix on it for us as well. Overall cleanliness was horrible hair left in tub from the previous people in room, room wasn’t ready for our check in time so they obviously rushed and didn’t take the time to clean properly.

Amazing view of the hills. For the price, it was an acceptable place to stay for the night. The AC was ridiculously loud and kept us awake on and off throughout the night which was pretty annoying
