Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Best of the best. By far the best bang for buck I found on my trip across California. Insanely comfortable beds. Super cool history and theme to the building. Small town charm and vibe. Felt like I was staying with family (in a good / comforting way). Got a massage at the spa, last minute, everyone was super accommodating. They are still building it, a speakeasy is being constructed in thr basement so ill have to come back. I'm struggling to find a single negative, other than maybe add an electric ev charger hookup? Overall, best hotel of my trip, won't forget it.
