Rare attention to beauty, always 100% maintenance.

Since I missed my I 5 road trip last year, I was particularly looking forward to staying here again. This is a classic midcentury motel reimagined as a unique oasis. The garden is extraordinary as is the tile works and detailing in the rooms. Clearly, the priority here was to create something beautiful for guests, and the sense of hospitality from the family is warm and welcoming. I look forward to my next visit.

Average room

The room was as expected for a low-price hotel. Some of the bedding wasn't super clean, but it wasn't horrible. The bathroom had a strange smell, and the shower floor and shower curtain were also a bit dirty. The staff was friendly, and we were generally happy with our stay, as we only needed a place to sleep. I think the $10 per dog fee is a steep for the cleanliness of the room.

Traveling I-5

I thought motel right off I-5. You drive 7 miles to the town of Los Banos. Cute place. Wonderful linens. Plush towels which I very much appreciated. Bare bones. No in room coffee. There are a Frig and microwave. A bit over priced for what you get.

I hate to let everyone know how great the Inn is because they might raise their rates! Absolutely nothing that wasn't 5 star to me. Completely renovated rooms. Cute little motel with lots of character. You won't be disappointed.
