What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We spent two nights here celebrating our anniversary, and it was a wonderful experience. The rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable. The courtyard is peaceful and inviting—a perfect spot to relax and unwind. The hotel’s location is ideal, just a short walk to all the shops and restaurants on Main Street. Plus, the convenient parking in the back made it easy to explore other parts of the valley by car. We highly recommend this place and look forward to staying here again in the future.”
“Absolutely loved our stay! Very cute and cozy with a great view nearby. Everything was in walking distance and the Inn made sure to make us feel welcomed and recommended many great places to visit and see nearby. Highly recommend!”
“This motel has a uniqueness about it with a beautiful courtyard to relax in. They provide an array of breakfast beverages and plenty of bottled water, the hair and body products are nice, and the rooms are comfortable at a great price! You can walk anywhere downtown from there too, which is awesome!”
