It has character, the rooms have kitchenettes and separate living room and bedroom areas, and all is clean. They could upgrade breakfast a bit. Parking is free but limited; you may not park close to your room entrance. There are other hotels nearby but not restaurants.

The room is a good size with a kitchenette with a large fridge/freezer. The room was comfortable, grounds were pretty and well maintained. The room was average cleanliness wise. The shower could have been cleaner and the floor felt slightly sticky.

This hotel was a great value! We had a kitchenette in our room, free airport shuttle, free parking, a full cooked breakfast, pool & hot tub located in the beautiful courtyard. Our room was clean, the staff was great! There's an Avis car rental place literally right on property (we learned it used to be the hotel library! The books are still there!) So we saved money by using the free airport shuttle the first and last day and renting our car for two days instead of the 3 or 4 we would have if we rented at the airport. The only minor things were that there was a mildewy smell in our room but we just opened a window and didn’t mind after a minute or two. And one of the nights (might have been friday?) There was music playing outside until quite late. (Might have been one of the neighboring restaurants?) It wasn’t very loud, so not a big deal. Saturday night we took the last parking spot. The other nights parking was fine! Overall we felt safe and comfortable and we'd definitely stay here again if flying into John Wayne!

The breakfast did not have enough options. There was the same set menu every day---eggs, hash browns, sausage links, pancakes, apple and orange juice, and coffee. There were no other items not even apples or bananas or any fresh fruit---no toast, or any other bread items offered. It was disappointing.
