Loved that my whole family fit in one hotel room, but then my kids had their own room, my husband and baby and I had the other and my mom had the bed in the living room. It felt like a small apartment. Wish the mattresses were a bit firmer and quieter, you could hear and sometimes feel the springs when you moved. Loved the kitchen space and living space, we didn't feel crowded at all. The cleanliness could've been a bit better but it's understandable for an Inn. Overall we did like it though, and in fact we already booked our next stay there. Thank you Olive Tree!

Check in was easy and fast. The room was clean, but too much air freshener. The room had only two bath towels, one hand towel, and one wash cloth for two people. And only one coffee cup. Breakfast was supposed to be "grab and go", but was really non-existent.

I didn't expect to find a very dirty room with dirty floors. Dirty beds and bugs everywhere and food splattered on the walls currently dealing with Expedia to see if I can get a refund for the room. I ended up booking a room elsewhere. Because it was not only dirty but the room didn't feel safe because the entry door doesn't close correctly and because one of the suites led to a balcony, and it looked like there was a homeless encampment that led straight into the creek where the balcony faced. Creepy.
