The Inn is charming and full of immenities (including Tums). Our rooms were very tastefully furnished and the beds great. The common areas were all inviting. Especially nice were the individually prepared hot breakfasts. But what really made our stay remarkable was the Innkeeper Josie, who truly went out of her to make our stay enjoyable as well as comfortable. We had an early morning flight out of SFO and she got up early to prepare our breakfast at 6:30 so we could depart by 7. This was way, way above the expected. Kudos to her.

We had a fabulous 3 night stay while in town visiting family. House was well appointed, inviting main level common areas, great layout with all suites upstairs. We were able to come and go in this centrally located neighborhood area close to stores & restaurants; easy access to freeway. The house is peaceful, beautifully decorated, and quiet. Although there were other guests, we only came across one other person in passing on the stairs. Plenty of parking in the driveway. Only small thing that could be improved was the outdoor deck furniture cushions of our suite could have used a good cleaning but I suppose it's a little more difficult to keep fabric clean outside. We had the tasty made-to-order breakfast two of the three mornings (saw the resident squirrel scrambling all over in the trees), innkeeper Ann was talkative and extremely accommodating. We also met Maria our last morning, great cook. We have already decided to stay here on our next trip to the Bay Area.

I left a purse in the closet after checking out and flying home (thankfully it was not my primary purse). The minute I got home, I received an email from the staff saying I left my purse there and that they'd be happy to ship it back to me. Before I could respond, the owner sent a second email saying he was going to be in my city the following week visiting his daughter who lives there (turns out we lived 5 min apart) and he'd be happy to bring the purse with him so I didn't have to pay for the shipping cost. If that's not great customer service, I don't know what is!

In general, service at the hotel was great, including valet parking charging our Tesla for us.

They all looked really nice. It was such a luxurious stay with a friendly feel. Almost like a mini wellness resort. And perk is it's close to a freeway entrance. Gotta love that.

My six-year-old and I spent the weekend there celebrating my birthday. Upon check-in, I discovered that they had upgraded our room to the King corner suite which was a fabulous surprise because the room was exquisite. Very large accommodations. Modern but cozy. We had a lovely sitting room that had lots of light with floor to ceiling windows and the bedroom looked out onto the entrance of the hotel. I booked our stay directly through the hotels website because they offer special packages and pricing. So I went with the luxury package which included two splits of sparkling wine. A nice way to start our stay. I also booked a massage which was easy to add on during the booking process. I opted for a 60 minute Swedish massage and it was exquisite. The bathroom in our accommodations was perfect. The bathtub was situated next to a lovely shower. So my daughter was able to take a little bubble bath while I showered. The hotel seems to be very secure, considering the lobby doors close at about 9 PM I believe. And the only way to access any of the floors via the elevator requires you to use your room key on a scanner pad before you are able to press any of the floors. It definitely gives a sense of security and safety. The pool is quaint, but perfect for a dip and some tanning. In order to place orders with the bar for drinks and food, there are menus where you scan a QR code. I did find it a bit of an issue so I opted to just walk up to the bar to place my orders. The luxury package I booked also included a late checkout for our day of departure. Usual checkout time is 11 AM but the late checkout is at 2 PM which is very nice. However, I unfortunately, had to go to the front desk to have our room keys adjusted to reflect our late departure time. Our room keys were first disabled at noon and then again at 1:30 PM. This was a bit of an inconvenience to be honest. If our stay included a late checkout at 2 PM, our keys should have worked without needing to be re-scanned twice. My only gripe about our stay is their restaurant, Roger. Our first meal there was Friday night when we checked in and it was definitely our last. The restaurant is vast, but luckily it wasn't busy. However, that did not help with the level of service we received. Once our order was taken, we never saw our server again. I assume she clocked out. But unfortunately, our table was not transferred to another server. So after my first glass of Prosecco, I was never offered another drink, and neither was my daughter. Once our food came out from the kitchen, and I noticed that nobody was tending to our table, I had to get up and go to the stand to ask for dessert menus. Besides the terrible service, the food was nothing to write home about. It was actually surprising how un-appetizing it was. Including the dessert, which should've been easy, considering it was just a brownie baked on a chocolate chip cookie. But it was hard like it had been refrigerated because it had been cooked and then stored. Since the server our table had been transferred to was not coming back, I just got up to leave. And I was going to let the people at the stand know our room to charge our meal. Absolutely atrocious. However, when the manager at the check-in desk asked how my stay was and I mentioned the terrible service we had, I noticed that our Friday night meal was completely taken off of our bill. Which I did not expect, but extremely appreciated. A very nice gesture. After our experience at the restaurant, I understood why I was seeing DoorDash drivers show up with meals for guests at the hotel. All in all, I will most definitely be staying at this hotel again. I just won't be frequenting their on-site restaurant.

I had ordered a bottle of sparkling wine for the table, and when he poured it into our glasses, I immediately noticed that it was still warm.

We then stepped away briefly to take some pictures and, when we returned, our waiter was nowhere to be found. We then stepped away briefly to take some pictures and, when we returned, our waiter was nowhere to be found. We waited quite some time before he finally came back to take our order. Once we ordered, the food also took a while to arrive. Throughout the meal, we repeatedly had to ask for basic items such as utensils, glasses, and napkins. Overall, the service was extremely disappointing and disorganized. I ordered the salmon dish, which was not particularly flavorful and was also quite expensive for the quality. The bottle of sparkling wine eventually made it back to the table, but it still wasn't chilled properly. The ambiance was another disappointment. The hotel, which looked beautiful in the photos online, felt much less appealing in person and looked more like a motel than the upscale property portrayed on the website. To make matters worse, we were charged a 22% service charge despite the poor level of service we received. Unfortunately, this experience did not live up to my expectations, and I would not recommend this place.
