This is the best place to stay in Willits. A family run accommodation whom are super friendly, accomodating and thoughtful. Our late night Check in was super easy and fast. The room was immaculate. They even give you a breakfast voucher at Lumber Jacks restaurant for breakfast and the food there was high quality. Fully recommend!

Comfortable hotel. Enjoyed sitting on the swing or under the covered area. The room we had was in the shady area, so stayed cool. The employees of the hotel were very nice and seemed go out of there way for the customers. They were doing maintenance on the rooms (painting), which I think is why the hotel is in good shape. I loved that the ice machine also had a water dispenser, so we could fill up our water bottles. Loved the $5 breakfast from Lumberjacks. They had a lot of options and the servings were pretty large. Coffee was great. The only thing I would recommend for the hotel, is when they clean, check the back of the door in the bathroom. I don’t think they look at this. It needed a good wipe down.

A True Gem that Exceeds All Expectations

This is, without a doubt, one of the best motels I have ever stayed in. The rooms were immaculate and far exceeded our expectations. The standout feature was the daily housekeeping service—something that has become incredibly rare post-COVID but makes a world of difference. The property itself is charming and rustic, with a beautifully maintained courtyard that offers a relaxing atmosphere with seating and games. Our stay was a pleasant surprise from start to finish. I will absolutely be staying here again on my next trip to the area.

This looked different in person than the pictures as it was advertising different themed rooms but other than that it was quiet and the bed was comfortable. It looked partially remodeled and it offered a discounted breakfast at a nearly restaurant which we enjoyed in the morning. For a last minute stop, it was affordable and checked our stay boxes pretty well.

Super Clean & Beautiful Hotel

The room was extremely clean and looked like it had been recently remodeled. Bed was comfortable, shower was great. Super A/C. Loved the outside fun themes of the rooms and could have been even more fun if picture in each room represented the theme. Wish there had been areas to set suitcases on besides the one suitcase rack. All in all a beautiful property!
