Disliked: Amenities
I had a good experience at this hotel. The room was impeccably clean, with fresh linens, spotless surfaces, and a calming, minimalist design that made it feel like a true retreat. Everything was thoughtfully arranged—from the cozy bed to the well-lit workspace—and the air smelled fresh and inviting. The bathroom was equally pristine, stocked with quality toiletries and fluffy towels. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere and how well-maintained everything was. It’s clear the staff takes great pride in keeping the rooms in top condition. Highly recommend for anyone who values cleanliness, comfort, and a peaceful night’s sleep!

This property was is so cute, when I checked in Robert was there to greet me and he is the sweetest ever! although they don't have breakfast they do have pastries available in the morning. But, if that's not your jam they are not far away from other eateries. I will definitely book with them again. Thank you guys for making this family vacation with my girls one to remember :)

Quiet rooms with off-street parking, convenient location. Comfy king-size bed, spotlessly clean. Shower great - but took a while for the hot water to arrive... a bit wasteful of precious California water.
