Room was clean. Staff are very nice. The grounds are amazing with citrus trees and flowers everywhere! The only issues were mosquitoes in our room, and dead flowers and fruit which if cleaned up would make this place amazing.

Friendly staff, quiet area, good value, decent room in low rise buildings, and breakfast for less money than most. Pet fee $25 USD like most others, some wear and tear in the room but linens were nice. Some spots on walls need a little more cleaning. Double queen suite (755 s.f.) has kitchenette with full fridge, microwave, single serve coffee maker but no dishes, just the disposable coffee cups. A tv in livingroom area and another big tv in the bedroom. Cable worked fine. We did not try the pool and hot tub but it is a cute resort style setup in centre of the buildings near the office. Waffle maker, bagels, sausage and scrambled eggs, cereals, juice and yogurt offered. Coffee was ok a bit of grinds nwere

Everything was great! We got a suite and it felt just like home. The only thing I would recommend is an area rug in the living space. That would be great for I didn’t bring any socks.

We booked on hotels.com. After a long flight we arrived and there was no record of our reservation. They said we could pay a higher price and try to sort it out in the morning. We ended up driving straight to Yosemite and camping just outside the park.

Breakfast coffee was disgusting. They mind as well use sewer water. Dirty room and unsafe location. No decent running water. Narrow parking. Too many stray cats and garbage bins were never emptied. Definitely NOT coming back. Place is badly managed and should be rated less than it deserves.

The people that work there were sooo nice and helpful. Sitting on the patio under the fruit trees was so relaxing. The flowers and garden areas were beautiful. We only had breakfast on our fly back home day, it was simple but filling bagels, FRESH fruit from the trees on site, sausage, eggs, toast, and you could make a waffle but we didn't.

The room was spacious, but the bedding and other items had a bad smell. I couldn't sleep at night. The room was very old, and most of the outlets didn't work. They didn't refill items at breakfast, and there were very few options. However, the area is nice. They have lots of fruit and flowering trees, which look really beautiful.

Everything was very nice, except the room condition. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was right next to the underground garden, and we walked to it. The refrigerator worked well. The room size was big. The carpet had many stains, TV had little channel choices and signals were poor. The sofa arm was broken and one seat sunk in. Lights next to bed were not working, so as outlet. The bed looked clean and we checked there were no bed bugs. However, my husband and I were very itchy. I don’t know why, and maybe it was due to some harsh chemicals. The bed seemed comfortable at first, but it had little support, so we both woke up with body aches. The room condition was so bad that we didn’t take shower or eat the free breakfast. We just slept the night and went to the airport. I had no idea how this hotel can get such good review on the condition of the property. Later I looked back, I noticed that if there was a poor review, there would be many 5 stars came after that review. Unfortunately, we will not ever come back to this hotel again due to the condition of the facility.
