What is not to like about this great little motel right off the highway in Willits, CA? From the moment we walked in, almost overwhelmed by the Indian food being prepared by the owner/family for a local cooking festival (I hope they won!), my wife and I felt like family. Clean, bright, cozy, it had everything. When we checked out my wife offered to buy the copy of Bhagavad Gita from our room but the proprietor let her take it, AND gave her a tutorial on how to read it. One of those places, "If you're ever in Willits, CA..."

Unique motel setup with exteriors as small western town.really like the LVT floor; new fixtures, medium sink counter. comfortable bed but pillows firm & stiff. Staff provided list/locations of restaurants and area attractions-appreciate that. Interesting courtyard with covered sitting areas, swing, & cornhole. Staff very friendly.
