What a cute, well maintained little hotel! I needed a quiet place to finish some work, and I got that. My room was quiet and the bed quite comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was one of the best free pickup breakfasts I've had at a small hotel.

We loved our stay at the hotel. We were winding down from our roadtrip along the central coast and truly appreciated the cleanliness and the chance to reheat some of our meals from the week. The staff was very accommodating. The private patio was also a plus.

The hotel is so beautiful, clean and quiet. Loved Our room 15. Breakfast is delicious and different every day. Laundry facility is free and very helpful. Loved their tea selection. Free and available all day. Lovely poor and fire sitting area on the back. The plants in the property are also very nice. Definitely come back. Better than other four star hotels.
