The decor was adorable, first hotel bed in years that I enjoyed sleeping on.the pools were wonderful, so relaxing. The parking was convenient. They could use a larger doggie potty area but we just walked the main drag in front of the hotel and found some grass. Walking distance to all the restaurants. Easy check in and out. Massages were just ok for the price. In my opinion the deep tissue massage was weak. The restaurant on site has good coffee and drinks but the food was nothing special.

Parking and check-in were super easy. This is more of a motel than a hotel or a resort but it was still really nice. It is a walk up window to order food at the restaurant, but the food was pretty good. I wish it had a full bar, but they only had beer and wine and wine-based cocktails. The pools were great, even in the freezing rain. I tried to book us some massages three weeks before our arrival, but they were already booked up so that was pretty annoying but not a big deal. Had to walk to a spa across the street in the rain. The room was spacious and updated and we had a very good night of sleep.

Called at 9 AM to ask what time our room was ready. Was told by 2:30 PM. Showed up and the lobby was a mess. People in wet bathing suits waiting for their rooms and it was past 4 PM. Staff at the front desk were rude and discourteous to guests. Manager was told how bad service was. All he said was that he knew that, and they were short staffed. At $300 per night, I expect more. This place is a notch above Motel 6 with disgruntled staff that should work at CA DMV. Avoid at all costs. Food sucks.
