I chose this hotel based on an advertisement somewhere showing a pool and a hot tub. When I got there, the pool had been filled in, so no hot tub, no pool. The host was very kind even though I was frustrated that not all of the ads had updated. So please be aware if you are looking for that.Beyond that we had a beautiful room! It’s a great location right near a very busy, fun Dog Park and near the Madonna Inn. I would highly recommend the hotel. So nice about having our pup too!

The location is excellent, right next to Denny’s (where guests of the Inn) get a 10% discount. The Inn is clean and the rooms are minimally furnished and unadorned but do the job. Staff are nice. It’s exactly the value I paid for.
