AC was fine, as was everything else in the room. The exterior looks like a movie set from the old west. A central voncrete patio with nice chairsxand tables was tastefully done. Breakfast was a discountvat a nice nearby restaurant. Better than the usual in hotel free breakfasts.

Excellent hotel!

Such a cute and well kept hotel! Each room’s door is part of the western theme, inside the rooms are modern and the beds comfy. Next time we are in Willits, we are definitely staying here again. Check in was quick and the nearby breakfast special was perfect!
