This property has been one of the best we have stayed in. The location is great as being in the middle of the valley is close to all wineries and restaurants. We loved the breakfast served in the room which was very large for a hotel. This inn is kept spotless inside and outside. We would definitely stay there the next time we went to the valley.

the room was spacious and clean. perfect location for night before an early flight. Only tiny downside was parking. It's not horrible but in the building the spaces are tight and there aren't many. We will definitely stay again though.
