Stayed here for the Laguna Seca races (15-20 min drove from hotel). Property and hotel room was clean and parking was easy. Hotel room was decent price. Restaurants were walking distance, walking back was uphill, but good to walk off the food. I would stay here again.

The hotel was nice for the price. The shower pressure was not the best and I woke up to another guest yelling in the parking lot right outside our room at 6:30 in the morning.

Price is just right for a basic room. It has refrigerator and microwave but surprised that it has no hair dryer. If you need to do some office work with your laptop, bring an extension cord. Overall, a thumbs up for this inn.

A great reasonably priced hotel. They're in the process of upgrading. There was an issue with an Expedia booking and Expedia and the hotel did everything they could to remedy it and they did. If you need lodging for a car race at WeatherTech raceway book ahead with this establishment as they book up early
