Motel undergoing renovations with a quiet atmosphere in the evening. Being away from the city the night sky is completely visible at night, phone camera doesn't do justice. Stayed here multiple times on visits to Northern California, it's right in the middle of two smaller towns. As earlier mentioned, the motel is undergoing renovations and the landscaping has the property well maintained as well as rooms getting a touch of life. First stay had carpeted flooring and more of a 90s look while the latest stay boasted laminate flooring, tile work, and kitchenettes (optional). Obvious that there is work going into the property.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this motel. Is it a branded hotel? No. If you want that, stick to the freeway. If you're expecting to eat your dinner directly off the carpet, .. I'd stay somewhere else. That said, this is a classic old-school, off-the-beaten-path motel. I found I had a fabulous stay. It's difficult to find lodging that will take pets other-than-dogs - I have a rabbit and a cat. The manager was even nice enough to bring by a carrot for my rabbit!! The grounds are very nice, with countless rose bushes of all colours; you can tell that there's care and love that's gone into the place. The tall eucalyptus trees lend accuracy to the name of the motel. Note that the restaurant next door is most definitely and absolutely closed, so plan accordingly for food. Overall, this is a unique place, reminiscent I feel of lodging back before the sterility of corporate-branded hotels. Heck, I consider myself lucky when a motel has a window in the bathroom, lol.
