1. As I submitted this review on 1/9/2012 and I stayed there almost a year ago - well, things are probably even better now as they would have remodeled a few more rooms.

2. Other than that, the exterior of the hotel could use some work, and the prices could be a little better, but high prices have always been a problem in this part of California.
