10/10 Excellent
"I enjoyed the happy hour. Server was very kind and pleasant. She informed me of the Thursday only farmer’s market w great food music while serving the drinks for the happy hour. I think that was thoughtful of her. Happy hour w an option to order bbq was very helpful being that I was hungry and exhausted after a long day and long drive from LA & Santa Barbara … room was great, clean, comfortable. Staff was friendly and efficient. Parking available and free which is also a plus. Breakfast included was also a plus. I especially like the hash brown and bacon. Crispy and fresh."
