Harry the owner is always on site and goes to great lengths to take care of you , { he even helped me find a job ! } It's an Historical place and the folks here are so sweet , plus it's walking distance to shopping or a great meal & cocktail's ! Yucaipa is a little jewel of a place nestled up in the mountains , worth the drive and in moments one can be out in the pine trees up old HWY 38. It's a place with good vibes and lovely people . { Thank you Harry , got that job ! } Tammy

It's a historic (first motel in yucaipa) with noticable german architectual influences. The rooms and bathrooms are old, the only reason I gave it such a high rating is the owners are very good people, hospitable and gracious. The price, you can't do better than the weekly rate anywhere around here. Safety is not concern as the owners are very vigilant. Lastly, free Wi-Fi and HBO which works great. * I would suggest ice and ice buckets, but that's just me. They will give you what they have but they are so nice I feel bad asking everyday do I bought my own.

It's really are there any down to earth environment it's more like apartments. it's the service from the front desk that is amazing. My mom and dad have been staying there for certain reasons at the moment, and my mother tends to be a little much, but the guy at the front desk his name is Josh, he is the best. He doesn't ever treat my mother like she's called too many times ,she does though. But he makes her feel like she hasn't called enough. And the late last night when I couldn't reach them on their phone, I called the front desk phone number, and even though I'm pretty sure he was already fast asleep after midnight, he got right up to go knock on their door and make sure they were okay. Didn't complain or anything. He didn't even hesitate. The service, it's so great,!thanks Josh!!
