Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The host was not present during our stay (didn’t see him/her at all), communicated with us the check in process by text only (will leave the room door unlocked and leave key and receipt in the room); I texted that our ETA was 2 pm, so I asked if they allow early check-in (check-in is supposed to be 3pm) and host texted back they open the door at 3pm, so we decided to kill time checking out Lake Isabella, then at 2:08pm we got a text that room was opened (what???); very impersonal. There are mini fridge and microwave hidden in the closet but no coffee maker. Glad that we always bring with us a small coffee maker on our trips. We know the building is rustic old, but they need to do repairs on walls that are disintegrating in the bathroom. Two things we really care about are security and cleanliness. There was no key provided for the deadbolt, only the bottom doorlock, which can easily be opened by a screw driver, so we brought our laptop with us in the car while we go around town. It felt safer to leave it in the car than in the room that we’re staying at. The room is clean but not to my standard as the floor seems to have not been mopped. To be fair, it has a very good location next to the Kern River, a big beautiful park is just across the street and restaurants and stores are just walking distances. If you’re just passing thru and need a place to stay/sleep for the night and don’t want to pay big bucks, this might be for you.

We opted for a nicer king-bed room, and it was so worth it. We were right by the river with a lovely deck where we could sit and enjoy our morning coffee. Clean and comfortable room -- it was great.

Cozy cottage feeling and lovely peaceful grounds and close to the entire town. Comfortable bed and linens. Some of the water from the pipes made very loud noises, but still had proper water and flows. Hair dryer didn't work

The room had a cabin in the woods type feel. Our room had a little porch with a table that we could sit at and watch people play in the river. The sheets were very soft and did not feel like hotel sheets at all.
