Just popped in for a quick one night stay - to visit friends nearby. The location was amazing - very cute town with fun shops and cafes. Nearby is a beautiful public library and playground in the middle of a redwood forest - great to walk through. Room was large (19) with high ceilings and large bathroom . Free continental breakfast served in the sunroom in the AM. Unfortunately we missed out on the wine and cheese hour. Would gladly stay again!

It is nestled in a lovely spot downtown with easy access to shopping and dining. It was a little difficult getting our luggage up the stairs. They did offer to get someone to help, but we managed.

Best Customer Service

I had not idea that this level of customer service still exists. Everyone goes above and beyond. The hotel is perfect. It's a great location. The best coffee shop in town is a block down the street. It is small and quaint. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. If I am in the area again, I will return to this hotel.
