This is an amazing and relaxing property. The staff is wonderful, the rooms are clean, and the location is close to town with plenty of things to do. It is a relaxing spot. The happy hour at 5pm is wonderful. We like to stop here on our way home for a night to shorten the drive between Santa Barbara and Northern California.

Such a cute place. Love the little touches like the private tour when you check in, the games in the lounge area, the adorable tea cups, their happy hour drinks, an actual real key on a gold keychain, and the fire pit on a nice patio. I wasn’t expecting much from the price, so was very pleasantly surprised. Certain things are outdated, but in a cool old fashioned way. And you can walk to shops and restaurants so the location is perfect. Would stay here again.

The room was conveniently located and spacious. Beds were very comfortable and the space was clean and could accommodate multiple adults comfortably. We loved that there was a fridge, microwave, kitchen table, and tea pots and sets. Cherry on top was the fireplace and tv for each separate room, one set for the king bed side and one set for the side with the two queen beds. The bathroom was spacious and there were ample towels to use, lots of space to place luggage neatly. Clean hardwood floors. We loved being so close to Main Street to walk to eat at the restaurants, bakery and wine shop, We had an awesome time,

Parking was very easy at this property. That front door slams so loudly and after hours, it woke us up several times. Decor is lovely throughout the property, but our carpets in our room needed help. Also not a lot of lighting. Kitchenette was super helpful to have. Downstairs lobby was great. Went with family of 4 and the family suite was very nice.
