Felt clean, but strong chlorine smell at first (we had room spray so that helped). Room was neat if a little dated, though there were a few modern feeling touches. Plenty of outlets available for devices. Light on the blankets (august visit to be fair) but generous on pillows. Large flatscreen with some sort of cable/satellite was nice. Vanity Lights in large bathroom window was also a plus. Our limited interaction (as we prefer it) with hotel staff was friendly, proffessional and helpful. Our toilet paper roll fell off the first 10 minutes in the room and there could be better towel hanging options. unfortunate location of public trail nearby had 'interesting' people passing through the property, but seemed to be just near the main entrance. Ultimately we were near the rear of the complex, the driveway access was tight for my ½ ton pickup, but it was quiet and comfortable. Ac ran nicely and shawer is large with plenty of space for taller guests (im 6', likely suitable up to 6'2" or 4). I felt safe and the nearby areas seemed nice. Many food options within a couple miles, walkable or drivable without too much hassle. Centered very nicely between san Francisco and Napa, our 2 intended locations for day trips. At the end of the day it was a great place to stay, especially at the price point for the area. Will highly consider the location for possible future visits to the region.

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.
