We visit Pinnacles National Park every year so this is our preferred location to stay. It is very close to the Freeway and access is convenient. There are local restaurants and fast food locations within easy walking distance. The free breakfast and 24 hour beverage service are added bonuses we like.

The people who work here are absolutely wonderful. It could be updated but ok. I did get very bit up by perhaps spiders on my stay. I left with at least 11 bites. I was itchy but didn't realize how bad it was until I was on my way home. I don't fully blame them but probably won't stay there again. Not sure

I was questioned about my kids and how old they were even though I had already paid for the hotel room that night. I’ve never had that experience before not sure why all of a sudden it matters.
