Easy and accommodating. Checked in late no problem just called ahead of time. Convenient location main road to wineries and only 5 min drive from casino makes me give it a 5 star. We walked over to old town nice safe 10 min walk. Tiny pool but wasnt there for the luxury.

The room was clean but overpowering smell of cleaning products. I tried to spray perfume and any other air fresheners I had but it did not work. We woke up to that same smell. There was a small couch that was disgustingly dirty. A couch cover would have been fine. It was so unsightly. Very friendly front desk service.

Clean and quite.
Very affordable at the last minute on a Saturday afternoon ( half the price of every hotel in the area). The room was very clean and quite. The TV had more channels than I have at home😄.
