Average some disappointment

Is it clean and relaxing option close to freeway to get to other locations. Staff was friendly, but property is better online than in person. Fire pits did not have working propane. Front (exterior) of room units was not clean. Dog friendly property, but all the doggie bag dispensers are empty!? Continental breakfast was very basic.

I was only there overnight for the Sonoma raceway. Beautiful and cottage like. It’s reminiscent of a 70s camp but adorable. There is a very nice garden area complete with restful hammocks and seating areas with fire pits. I would stay there again but maybe longer.

The center area of the property is lovely. The pool was closed (in early August). The continental breakfast is really minimal, and on our first morning was not available at the time mentioned on the web, and that was an important consideration for us.

No thanks

This used to be the Alvarado Inn when I was a kid. Place hasn’t been updated in years. It’s weird funky and odd. The room was kind of big, but we were in the back in this weird dark area. There was a Grateful Dead hand painted hippievan that was parked in the far back. It was kind of fun staying there for nostalgic reasons, but really it’s a dump.

Dysfunctional Amenities

I booked this hotel to enjoy the hot tub and fire pits with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, both the hot tub and fire pits were not functional. The grounds were beautiful, which didn't make the hotel a total loss, but it was a complete disappointment since those amenities are why I booked this hotel. The room was nice with comfortable beds. If those two things worked, I would give this hotel a much higher mark for sure.

Great value

Beautiful grounds, great value for the money. Very comfortable mattress. Garden facing rooms have 2 entrances, one going towards the pool and facing the huge lawn, the other facing your personal parking. Service dogs welcome at no charge. Nice area to hang out, walk your dog and enjoy the weather.

The location is great and I love the architecture of the place. However the rooms need an upgrade. And ensuring that at least each room has an ironing board and iron. And the bathroom towels upgraded. You can increase to the cost of stay with overall complex upgrade to reflect 2025.
