The retro-chic 'Pool House & Bar' with its retractable glass walls and neon signs
Surprisingly solid free hot breakfast with waffles and eggs
Pet-friendly policy that actually welcomes dogs (for a $50 fee)
快速概覽: A highly Instagrammable renovation that can't quite hide the fact that it's a 1970s motel sitting 50 feet from Highway 101.
由 @katwalksf 評論: I needed a serious mental reset after a breakup, and this spot saved me. Bringing my dogs made it 10x better. The Friday yoga and wine in the dome was exactly what I needed to get my head straight. Highly recommend for a solo recharge.
住過這裡的客人說
The hype
Travelers love the aesthetic and the pool area, often calling it a 'hidden oasis' in a generic part of town.
Reality check
The thin walls and freeway roar are the most common complaints, with some guests noting that the 'renovated' rooms still have old bones.
You prioritize a cool pool scene over total silence
You're traveling with a dog and want easy outdoor access
You want a stylish basecamp for Sonoma wine tasting without paying Healdsburg prices
清潔與維護
8
Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests note missed dust in corners.
Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are renovated and usually sparkling, though the grout in older units can show age.
Maintenance: Renovations are holding up well, but the underlying 1970s structure means occasional creaky floors or stiff doors.
Linens & towels: Crisp and white, standard hotel quality.
Odors & scents: Usually fresh, but a 2020 report mentioned bed bugs (isolated incident, but worth noting for total transparency).

出發前需要知道的 5 件事
💡The 'Wellness Dome' is a unique geodesic dome for yoga/meditation that often goes unused—it's a great private escape.
💡The neon 'hand wave' sign by the pool is actually an optical illusion that changes as you walk by.
💡You can hear the housekeeping carts rumbling on the concrete walkways from inside your room.
💡The 'closet' is often just an open rack, so don't expect to hide your messy suitcase.
💡The bathroom amenities are Malin + Goetz, which is a surprisingly high-end touch for a motel conversion.
