Easy on/off the 101. An older property, but clean spacious rooms and a pool. Very reasonable room rates. Most of the rooms and parking lot are up a hill from the registration office, very quiet up against the hills above the Madonna Inn. Staff is friendly and helpful. I had trouble figuring out the controls on the wall heater/AC unit, but all I had to do was call the front desk on the room phone and the nice guy at the front desk came right up and set it for me. My room was on the 2nd floor at the end, nice & quiet with pretty views of the hills and valley below. There's a Denny's right next door to the registration office and you get 10% off if you show them your room key (or room key sleeve if you already checked out).

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A travel for business two weeks per month. Kind of a pain in the neck with having a decent regular hotel makes it feel kind of like Home. Truthfully, I really like this place. Isn’t anything exciting or super nice. But you get what you pay for. It is not a five star hotel. But for the money, I think it’s the best place around. When I show up, they know exactly who I am. You got even waves the security fee for me. It’s kind of funny I’m there so often I don’t even bother looking at other hotels anymore. They did shut down the hot tub and pool and it has a sign that is permanently closed. That is my only complaint. That was probably the only guy that used it anyway. Truthfully it’s right next-door to a grocery store in a couple restaurants. It’s also right next to the lake and a large park which is great for walking. The Chinese restaurant next-door is terrible. It’s like a block away and it’s definitely worth avoiding. You won’t get sick you’ll just be disappointed. You spent money on it. Highly recommend this hotel and I’m a guy. That’s probably been there two dozen nights last year.

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.

1- overnight stay w/wife. Front desk was very good (staff). Parking was good. Room was fine. Only complaint was attendant knocked on our door to ask if we were going I guess- it was 9:15am and check out time is at 11am. We didn’t ask for an early check out. Not appreciated ☹️
