We've been here three times and love being near to downtown. Came for a piano concert at Lotus Land. Love the little finches. Over all we love this place.

"Happy and easy"

We stayed on a Friday night, after a long drive. The meal we had at the café on site was great and the dessert was SO over the top and huge that four of us could only eat half of it. The brownie was huge! we were so happy the cafe was next door to the motel. Very convenient stopping point on 101.
