The whole place was very neat and clean but our room was spotless - I loved the large bathtub that was ideal for soaking - The towels were exceptional and even bathrobes were provided - The king size bed was very comfortable and there was an extra blanket in the closet - We had a mini suite and I would recommend it for the slight prince increase

The room was clean and fresh. The staff were welcoming and very much helpful and extremely well customer service. The property is beautifully maintained and set up with the trees and the front desk to the housekeeping staff all were very professional and friendly. We had a great stay and will definitely be back. It is an oasis tucked away from the El Camino but very special and cozy.
