Passing through Buellton for a 1 night stay and greeted by cheerful staff. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was nice. Fairly quiet as it was a week day and left early the next morning. Pleasantly surprised.

We stumbled across this hotel last minute on a road trip along the cost. Wow! We were pleasantly surprised,conveniently its right off the freeway, we got a room with balcony facing the pool. We walked around the property its connected to an RV with cabins park. Its clean and so adorable. And I read they have the best donuts with coffee in the lobby in the morning. Oh yeah delicious donuts. Highly recommend this hotel and if we're in the area this will be our spot to get some rest.

The room was nice and spacious. It was decently quiet even though we were on the highway side of the property. Our balcony looked out to a wall which wasn’t great but we were only there for one night. It’s cool that they have fire pits.
