Handy location off the highway
Reviewers appreciated the location just off the highway about two hours' north of Los Angeles. It was conveniently a short drive away from Solvang, top Californian vineyards and many golf courses. Motorists liked the free on-site parking and range of amenities in Buellton including dining options and gas stations.
positive:
Budget option met or exceeded expectations
Guests often felt this simple roadside accommodation not only met but also exceeded expectations. It offered affordable rates and a flexible pet-friendly policy in pleasant surroundings with recently remodeled rooms that were short on luxuries but did the basics well. Many reviewers said the property was well cleaned, helped by the wood-effect floors instead of carpets. There was also praise for the pleasant outdoor pool and sun terrace. However, fees for Wi-Fi access were unpopular and users occasionally reported a patchy signal and sub-standard speeds.
positive:
Friendly personnel
Personnel on the front desk were often praised by visitors for being helpful, friendly and polite.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Noise bothered light sleepers
Occasional noise from neighboring rooms and traffic noise from the highway were a nuisance for some light sleepers who were sometimes kept awake as a result. Rooms not facing the freeway were reportedly quieter, however.
negative:
Property had some drawbacks
According to some critics, the beds weren't all that comfortable due to thin mattresses. Guests also often remarked that provisions of soap and towels were so limited they had to trek to reception to get more. The lack of laundry facilities and breakfast options apart from free coffee were a further disappointment for some reviewers.
negative:
Infrequent cleanliness grumbles
Although most visitors said the motel was more than adequately clean for a short stay, there were occasional grumbles about pest control and claims that bathrooms could have been more thoroughly cleaned.
