Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Generally described as very clean and spotless in multiple reviews (bathrooms and common areas), but several mentions of a smoke smell in a room, worn carpet and a damaged couch lower this score slightly.
Service
9.8
Consistently praised: friendly and accommodating front desk, prompt moves for noisy rooms, attentive lounge staff and ample staff presence noted — strong service across reviews.
Location
9.4
Located next to Hwy 5/truck stop but repeatedly described as a surprising oasis/hidden gem with beautiful grounds — convenient for travelers and highly regarded despite proximity to the highway.
Room Quality
8.8
Rooms are described as large and clean, with reserved parking and comfort, but isolated reports of smoke odor, worn carpet and a damaged couch reduce this score.
Amenities
9.8
Outstanding amenities reported: pool, koi ponds, hydroponic terrarium, wine museum, bocce/horse shoes, orchards, shaded seating and pet-friendly features — repeatedly highlighted as a key strength.
Value for Money
9
Many guests call the breakfast and overall stay great value and note attractive pricing; a few comments flag expensive dinner pricing, so value is strong but not without caveats.
Food and Beverage
9.2
Restaurant praised for farm-to-table quality and excellent breakfast; some guests note higher prices for dinner and occasional service delays in the restaurant (not the lounge).
Overall Experience
9
Overall highly positive — guests describe the property as a hidden gem and an oasis, many repeat visits and strong recommendations, tempered slightly by isolated issues (smoke smell, some pricey menu items).

Pros:

Loved the older-like charm. The property was beautiful, and the staff was very friendly.

Cons:

The only thing bad I have to say about this hotel is that the bed was not comfortable.

The staff was welcoming & a cookie was a nice touch on arrival.
Pros:

Beautiful grounds with nice places to relax. Nice the hotel has lounge & restaurant so we could just stay & relax after a long day of driving

Cons:

The only downfall was the hotel wasn’t full yet they chose to put all residents next to each other. Since the units outside doors with patios your next door neighbor is very near. We were exhausted from 2 days of travel and needed to be up early for our last day. Unfortunately the next door neighbor decided to have an outdoor get together at midnight. They came over stole our chairs making considerable noise and proceeded to talk excessively loud. We had to call the fro t desk which only resulted in them going inside but they could still be heard through the walls. All this could have been avoided if they would have spaced guests apart from each other & security would be out monitoring noise levels.

Excellent hotel with gorgeous grounds, Tesla charging, great restaurant and incredible staff!
Pros:

They have covered every single detail of a guest's visit exceptionally. We were on a 10 day road trip, stayed in nice hotels or B &B's and this was our favorite. Our room was nice and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The garden grounds were lovely with fountains, waterfalls, and koi ponds. The pool and jacuzzi area was separate, enclosed, and well kept. The excellent on site restaurant has a huge enclosed greenhouse where they grow herbs and vegetables for fresh ingredients. There were also other excellent restaurants nearby that we enjoyed, including Pea Soup Andersen's. The staff was very friendly and professional. They gave us delicious cookies upon check in. Other guests were picking up free Koi food to feed the fish. The building itself is beautiful, historical, and has a free onsite wine museum. There was ample free parking for cars and trucks. An a big highlight for us, with our Tesla, was an onsite large Rivian and Tesla Supercharging station! It was definitely a 10 out of 10 and we will stay again if we road trip to California.

Cons:

We don't have any suggestions to make for improvement.

Great hotel, beautiful grounds, and friendly staff.
Pros:

The woman at the front desk was super friendly and kind; it was just what I needed when I arrived after a long day. The grounds are beautiful and the greenhouse was incredible. Growing their own food for their restaurant is impressive and delicious.
