There's no hiding that this was once a Howard Johnson's but the new owners beautified the place with an amazing wealth of fruit trees and other plants. If you need anonymity and uniform soul-less service, stay elsewhere. There's no wireless, gym nor USA Today on your door. However, there is wonderful, home-grown fruit for breakfast and a kind, homey feeling.... more

Was expecting this to be just a safe place to lay our heads down for a night's sleep. It was definitely that, but so much more --turns out it's a flower-lover's paradise. The grounds sported blooming tulips (3000 of them!), roses, cycads, citrus, callas, palms... on and on. Our patio was sheltered behind a kumquat tree, affording privacy and cheer.... more

The owners/managers were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel didn't look like much from the outside, but they put us in a double room around the back (past the pool) which was very nice. There are numerous fruit trees, rosebushes, and grapevines. It's very pretty. Free breakfast. more

The rooms are clean and contain everything you need. Nice free breakfast in the AM. There is a Costco and a WinCo just down the... more

We came across this hotel from the AAA book in 2005, and when we called around 11:30 p.m. they welcomed us immediately. We have since stayed there three more times, and each time has been great! The rooms are spacious, and while not decadent, they are very comfortable. The owners are extremely nice and went out of their way to... more

This property has a lot of foliage which we think might have contributed to the "bug" problem. Right off the bat, the entryway was dirty. Don't look up or you'd see cobwebs and other unidentifiable things. We found a cockroach in our bathroom (which is never good) and while using their pool, many of us were bitten by some bugs... more
