This Inn was a recommendation for a wedding that we were attending in Cayucas. CA. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot I was reminded of the roadside hotels along Rte. 66 when I was a kid, rooms set in a row. I was mildly surprised how clean and updated the facility appeared. You could tell that they had updated the exterior of the place.
When we entered the recently renovated room it looked fresh and clean although it was kind of small but nice. There was a King bed in the room which made it feel sort of cramped with the table and chairs but nothing that could'nt be overlooked. The bed was a pillow top type and very comfortable. The room was a little stuffy so I turned on the a/c and large ceiling fan (not usually provided in these types of places) and the room was very comfortable almost immediately. There was a new mid-sized tv with most of the regular channels that you'd expect but when I turned it on all that I saw was snow. A call to the front desk and they responded immediately and fixed the issue. The normal amenities are provided, microwave, fridge, etc. The only issue we had was when my Wife wanted to go lounge by the pool and read, the gates had locks installed that were supposed to be open at 8am and she went out at abot 9:30am.
This Inn is just north of downtown and the Embarcadero, it only took about 5 minutes to get there. Overall, we were very satisfied with the accomodations and would probably stay there again. I knocked off one point for the smaller room and locked gates but it's a nice/cleanplace to stay for the weekend.

Do not stay here.

Check in was far from welcoming, no friendly greeting.

On arrival the room itself smelt and the drawers were broken, there was a coffee filter left in the machine from the previous guest. It was also not cleaned properly during our 2 night stay. E.g. bins not emptied, toilet not cleaned, floors not swept.

We could have seen past this had the manager not being so rude throughout our stay.

The property has a washer and dryer which we used on a couple of occasions. On the first evening we used the washer and dryer but found that on the second load it was still damp and the dryer had been turned off without notice, we then had to find places in our room to hang the damp clothing to dry. We then tried to use the following evening at 8pm when arriving back from being out all day. We had loaded the washer only to find the manager had turned it off. We asked if we were able to use the washer as the sign said to use 7 - 10pm but we were abruptly told that there was another sign saying last wash 8pm which we had not seen, "hotel rules" was all we were told. We were leaving the next morning so had to wake up early to ensure we had time to wash and dry our clothes that already had washing powder on and weren't able to be packed in cases.

Breakfast on the first morning, there were a couple of slices of bread and a very limited choice or fruit, there was a fridge which had some pots of fruit in. We did not understand why these weren't in a glass fronted fridge available for guests. The next morning when getting a pot of fruit from the fridge the manager was extremely rude and said you need to ask for assistance, the sign says in big letters. We did not understand why we would need assistance to open a fridge door and assumed the sign was to ask for general assistance (which we would not have asked for given the rude and abrupt nature of the manager).

We would have reported some of these issues to the manager however, given her attitude and previous responses to other reviews for this hotel we would have been concerned that the police would have been called and we would have been evicted like other guests.

We have been travelling down the California coast for over 2 weeks staying in similar motels with managers who run their hotel exceptionally. This hotel is being run appallingly and we would certainly not recommend it.

If I could give this place negative stars I would. We booked a room through Expedia that said the room was "pet friendly". After I booked the room, I called the hotel directly and told them I had booked a pet friendly room and I wanted to verify this was in fact a pet friendly hotel. I was told, YES the hotel was pet friendly and they looked up my name and said all was good. When we arrived the owner and her son were checking visitors in. She told me that even though the hotel was pet friendly, the room they had reserved for me wasn''t. I told her that I called to verify my pet friendly room and was told my reservation was for a pet friendly room. She had the audacity to call me a liar. I told her we just traveled 3 hours and I expect to get a room. She was not happy about it but she did agreed to give us a room. After we checked in, we took our two dogs to the beach where we stayed all day. The next day we left early to go to the beach again and we spent most of the day there. When we returned to our room, we noticed that the floors had not been cleaned. There was sand everywhere. One room down the maid had left a broom leaning against the wall so I borrowed it to sweep our room. Within minutes, the owner showed up banging at our door demanding her broom back. My husband explained that our room was not swept so we were just using it to clean the floor. She then said we were nothing but trouble makers and it would make her happy if we would just leave but because it was past checkout time she would not refund us for the day then she stormed away. Within 30 minutes the police were knocking on our door because she called and told them we were trouble makers causing problems. Mind you, in the two days we were there, we saw her two times, when we checked in and when we used the broom. That was it. We were out of the room both days at the beach. WE WERE THEN EVICTED FROM THE HOTEL. THIS INDIAN LADY AND HER SON ARE THE RUDEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT CONSIDER THIS PLACE. THEY ARE HORRIBLE!!!
