Typically stay at Holiday Inns that are newer properties with interior hall entry. I didn’t know this was a motel style location. Parking was great and the pond was nice to walk around.

We had a great two night stay for Cali Roots. Quick bike ride to the festival, awesome free breakfast in the mornings and a bridge right to In-N-Out next door for late night food when we got back. Property was nice and a quick bike ride to the beach as well. Room was clean and spacious, if a bit dated. Bed was super comfortable and staff was friendly! Definitely recommend.

Fine for a night. Room was OK, shower never got hot, just luke warm. Very noisy area and outside voices carry right into the room. Breakfast was decent but not great.

This property was very convenient, especially traveling with kids. There was an accessible trail, which leads to two parks, also two food places on the property that were walking distance. The breakfast was good and very convenient. The ducks made noise at night but overall an incredible stay and would book again.

The person who received us is very helpful and friendly, the room we were assigned is a little old it needs some repairs the toilet is very small and the part where you sit is loose, the air extractor is very old it makes a lot of noise, the good thing is that we only stayed one night
