The staff, the owners were such an amazing and friendly people. They made some special arrangements for the food for us for our breakfast. They had a beautiful fruit garden. Owner’s mom showed us around the garden and let us pick delicious fruits from their garden. I would definitely recommend this property. Great Price for our stay with breakfast.

The hotel is good overall. The rooms are well-equipped, spacious and clean. However, it’s a bit pricey for its tier compared to hotels in other states, since California has a high cost of living.

It’s very balanced property. You have everything essential for good price. Swiming pool was clean. Breakfast is good. It‘a hard to find due to the common location with Garden Inn & Suites.
