Great value
Beautiful grounds, great value for the money. Very comfortable mattress. Garden facing rooms have 2 entrances, one going towards the pool and facing the huge lawn, the other facing your personal parking.
Service dogs welcome at no charge. Nice area to hang out, walk your dog and enjoy the weather.

A single story motel in a park like setting with beautiful grounds. Plenty of spots to sit and rest. Gas fire pits, a hammock and plenty of shade trees and a well maintained pool. Breakfast, however, was very meager.

Dysfunctional Amenities
I booked this hotel to enjoy the hot tub and fire pits with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, both the hot tub and fire pits were not functional. The grounds were beautiful, which didn't make the hotel a total loss, but it was a complete disappointment since those amenities are why I booked this hotel. The room was nice with comfortable beds. If those two things worked, I would give this hotel a much higher mark for sure.

Easy to find. Ample parking. Queen sized bed seemed like just double bed in size.

No thanks
This used to be the Alvarado Inn when I was a kid. Place hasn’t been updated in years. It’s weird funky and odd. The room was kind of big, but we were in the back in this weird dark area. There was a Grateful Dead hand painted hippievan that was parked in the far back. It was kind of fun staying there for nostalgic reasons, but really it’s a dump.

Average some disappointment
Is it clean and relaxing option close to freeway to get to other locations. Staff was friendly, but property is better online than in person. Fire pits did not have working propane. Front (exterior) of room units was not clean. Dog friendly property, but all the doggie bag dispensers are empty!? Continental breakfast was very basic.

Absolutely beautiful grounds/garden area. The buildings are a little dated, but it has comfortable beds, large flatscreen TV, and a generally peaceful environment.
