It is a very nice property, especially for the price. It is an old style motel, but it is exceptionally clean and well-maintained. It has all the amenities I need like a pool, a sauna and a hot tub.

Charming little Gem located in the heart of the wine country. The name is fitting. I really did not expect this from a motel.
