Total dump. I believe the rooms were converted sheds. 2 night stay for 2 rooms and only stayed one night. No water pressure. TV didn't work. Door locks were not secure. Had to tie the doors closed from inside the room.

Loud & Dirty

The check-in was easy and friendly. However the property needs maintenance and a deep cleaning and the door lock was tricky. Chipping paint, very dusty and black mold in the shower. Being right next to the road you can hear EVERY car tire roll by

Convenient but it's right next to the main road and noisy. My room was upstairs. The stairs were in an unkept condition with debris all over them. An ashtray on the front porch was full of OLD cigarette butts. The lighting was poor and the lock was very hard to open. Like someone had tried breaking in at one time. The deadbolt was not functioning with the key. The carpet inside was very stained and dirty. Would not stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The trip was going good. Staff was friendly. We cleaned our own room daily when we seen the cleaning ladies we would ask for a broom and mop to clean the room ourselves. One, because we’re clean people and secondly it’s an attempt to relieve some cleaning duties from the hotel staff. We don’t mind. The day before checking out I checked my credit card and we were charged an additional $350 for our service animals. Upon questioning the management I was told service animals were not allowed and all pets were subject to being charged. I explained the website clearly stated service animals were allowed and under California state law and not subject to fees or charge. The manager stated I was wrong. I explained further just to be met with the same results. I explained even if the charges were valid, which they were not, it should have been $200, not $350. My credit card statement now reflects an additional charge for $200. We will have to wait and see it the original $350 is returned to my card.

For a weekend getaway it’s a fair price. Not too far from home. We had some noisy neighbors that didn’t go to bed until late night.
