The good and the bad.
The staff is very friendly. Breakfast was excellent. The bed was comfortable. The floors were dirty. The bathroom could definitely use a remodel. Road noise was loud. For the price, overall it was good.

We were on a delightful road trip before and after a family reunion, and were here for one very restful night. Although we didn’t take in all the sights, we did rest well. Staff was friendly and helpful and room was clean and quiet.

Some of the rooms are remodeled. Get there early for those. It’s clean, bed was good but the pillows hard. ( bring your own). I like the way they did breakfast. Everyone very friendly. I loved the theme and decor of the place.

No complaints. The room was comfortable and clean. By the time you factor in the free breakfast, it’s a decent value too. The breakfast burrito is fabulous! I did find that the online price was cheaper than when I went in to book a room in person, so you might check before you walk in. Lescombes Winery and Bistro is just a couple blocks away and great for dinner.
