    What a gorgeous hotel! My friend told me this is where her sister and brother-in-law charge their car. I've never booked a room here, but we would meet up with our friends from Madera at this hotel since their place is too far for me to drive. Yesterday, I discovered a really cool greenhouse and a charming wine museum I had never seen before. There's no charge to enter the wine room, but you need a key card from the lobby to access it. Additionally, there's a cute, small pet park for furry friends. The hotel also features a pond filled with colorful koi fish and another pond with waterfalls. We spotted an adorable turtle just hanging out with some fake ducks. There are a couple of areas with fire pits, and there's even a rose garden. I found a spot where you can play bocce and horseshoes. The courtyard is definitely fun to explore, and the restaurant's view is fantastic. I also learned about a bar called The Lounge. I tried the food at the Kitchen for breakfast and lunch yesterday. The service was slow on both occasions. We had to wait for ten minutes because the staff member at the desk said the server would return by then. I asked if they could seat us while we waited for her break to finish, but we decided to stay anyway. Regardless, the food was excellent both times, so the restaurant kicks ass even though the service doesn't. There are many places to visit outside the hotel. The Korean Memorial is nearby, but we skipped it yesterday. Instead, we discovered a few parks with trails that offer beautiful views of the hills and the San Luis Reservoir. We also visited the Romero Overlook Visitors Center, where you can learn about the water system and the area's history. I'm sure there are more things to do in the area, but that was all we had time for during our adventure yesterday.

    If you are ever anywhere in the area of this vast sea of farmland... stay the night here. This hotel is an absolute JEWEL of a place that you would never expect out here. I chose this overnight due to their dog friendly policy and that it had an interesting story. This by far was our best stay so far on the end of week two of a three week road trip. The property is absolutely beautiful, the staff is soooooo nice from front desk to security to the wonderful onsite restaurant. They have a gorgeous garden, pool area and lots of places to just sit and relax. They have a killer dog park onsite along with a welcome sign for pups with cookies, so these folks take dog friendly to a new level! Our room was very comfortable with all the amenities (microwave, fridge, iron/board, toiletries) and the beds were wonderful. They have a cute little gift shop with some branded items... I picked up a dog toy and bowl to remember our five star stay!

    I can only review the restaurant here, which we've stopped at many times. Just off I5, this hotel complex has a large array of EV chargers, so we plug in and stop for a meal. This a perfect stop for us as we drive up and down the state to visit family. The restaurant is clean, service is prompt and friendly. Only hiccup we've encountered was a Sunday morning stop. They only offer a brunch on Sundays, which we weren't interested in doing. Otherwise, this is a great pit stop!

    We stop here at least twice a year while traveling! We also have FUR BABIES! First of all everyone is so so nice! (Hint, grab those fresh chocolate chip cookies at the front desk), secondly, they are so so pet friendly! Lots of places for the dogs to sniff! Lastly, everything is so comfy! Just love this place! Came back again for our return trip stop and found out they have a doggie dinner menu at the restaurant! Lots of choices for the fur babies!

    Beautiful hotel Hotel Mission DeOro Amazing architecture all throughout this amazing place. Very spacious rooms (one king bed) with a very convenient patio to over look the amazing and beautiful grounds of this hotel. Fantastic workout center with sauna the pool is just perfect! With Hot tub. This hotel is just up kept immaculately. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Well they refused my late checkout request but they did upgrade me at check in, so I can't complain too much Once your here you really don't have to leave. Yes you have your quick fast food just outside the grounds but Hotel Mission DeOro has an amazing restaurant with great options and amazing service. Driving by this place hundreds of times and glad I made the decision to stay. You take help like your somewhere exotic and far away when your here. A must stay for EVERYONE looking for a cool little getaway from your hustle and bustle that's not too far from home in Monterey.

    Great view

    When working in this area I always stay here, the rooms are comfortable, the beds are comfortable,clean. I enjoy getting an upstairs or downstairs room that faces in to the courtyard. Day or night the courtyard is pretty. The bar is fun and a great place to eat or drink . I kinda wish they had a jukebox to play music. I have had the steak and potato dinner a few times , delicious! But I did find the kitchen to be hit and miss . The pool area is really nice , the multi sport courts are fun, the wine museum is really interesting. The front staff is friendly, the coffee is fresh , the flowers are beautiful. Security is always keeping an eye your cars and patrolling the grounds . It's a great place to stop , come check it out !

    Great jem convenient to hwy 5 with helpful and happy (a rarity) staff. Has been greatly improved by local owners since 2017 my last stay. Large rooms with comfy beds, closets, chairs, ironing board and wall controlled a/c, heater.. Full bloom rose garden, many fountains and coy ponds,, resort like pool.area. catchy music in restaurant with yummy food and tasty on point bar (thanks Javier). Well appointed rooms and bathrooms with indoor QUIET halls except for a few rooms with exterior entry. Added extra layer of safety were roaming, security. Didnt hear traffic at all due to huge Soundwall. Interestingly has hydroponic greenhouse growing produce used in restaurant. Plenty to discover walking the grounds. Met a family that went to the hotel just for a long holiday weekend - great idea. Plenty to do and see on the grounds. Will definitely stay again soon.

    Ten of us stayed in three rooms at this hotel the weekend of 9/13 - 9/15. All three rooms were different. I highly recommend the rooms next to the gardens which are much more spacious inside and with a larger patio area with more chairs. The downside is that this hotel has so many water bugs and the downstairs room was the worst for those. I shudder just thinking about them. We used the pool and hot tub a few times. Fortunately, not many others were using them at the same time; it would have been too crowded if there had been because the pool and hot tub are not very big. Overall, the ground are lush and are designed to make you forget you are in the middle of nowhere. Although very different, each of our rooms were $200 per night before taxes, fees, etc., which I thought was really expensive for the area (there is literally nothing to do in Santa Nella). There was a quincenera on Friday and a wedding on Saturday - clearly the hotel is often used for such events so maybe that's the biggest driver in the room charge. I appreciated that neither event interfered with our enjoyment of the hotel. We ate one meal at the hotel restaurant and it was fine but pricey as you'd expect for a hotel restaurant. Saturday night we got desserts to go and ate them at the fire pit while we enjoyed the live entertainment. Two separate live music was offered on Saturday night starting at 6pm which I loved; they were very good! Staff was helpful and courteous; we didn't encounter anyone rude. Rooms were clean. I *think* I would stay again but probably only in one of the larger patio rooms on the first floor - except not sure what I would do about the water bugs. Obviously they come from the open fields surrounding the hotel, I get it; they were here first. But, For this price, fumigate better so guests don't have water bugs running in the room and bathroom!

    This place is a GEM! We were on our way home from vacation with 3 hours to go. I was tired and needed fuel so I pulled off in Santa Nella and I decided I didn't want to drive anymore. We got a room here at Hotel Mission De Oro. It is fabulous. The grounds are gorgeous, the room was clean and comfortable. We chose a room with a balcony, it was worth the additional $40. I had a cocktail in the lounge, it was delicious. I had already eaten, but I saw other people eating at the bar and the food looked amazing. Now I just need an excuse to come back, and next time I'm having dinner here!

    I haven't met Flo yet, but just wanted to give her a shoutout for how well she took care of me and my reservation! She made sure I got situated properly, got my room preferences noted, AND saved me money by checking whether I had AAA so she could offer me a discount! She was warm and funny and kind, I look forward to thanking her in person hopefully! Lovely customer service!

    Is it pet friendly?

    Hi Larry. Yes, we are a pet friendly hotel.

    We are looking for a new place to stop on our drive to SoCal just to get coffee, a snack, and to stretch our legs. Would this be a good place?

    Hotel Mission de Oro is a great place to take a pit stop. There's a koi pond, vineyard, olive grove, tennis/basketball court, newly constructed greenhouse, California's only wine museum, and a restaurant and lounge. For a super quick bite, the gift… 

    Can we just go in for lunch or dinner? Or do we have to stay there in order to try the restaurant?

    Yes, you can go to lunch or dinner without staying at the hotel.

    Hello, Do your bedroom windows open up a bit?

The…read moreMotel 6 in Santa Nella was the only option for us in our last leg of the trip, and I must say we were truly impressed. The staff at the front desk were friendly, courteous and professional. Our room was clean, beds were comfortable, the shower was perfect and the room was immaculate. Yes, it's a small room, but for one night it was perfect for us. I appreciated that it was close to a restaurant. There is no coffee in the lobby in the morning nor is there breakfast, but the price was very reasonable and we don't begrudge the motel for not giving us food or drink. Nice place!

    I had spent a long day motoring from ParkerAZ-USA, and had descended into the Central Valley of…read moreCalifornia on 58/Keene. This is noteworthy because I had driven from a bright blue atmosphere into the dark/dank inversion layer that was blanketing the entire lower altitudes, hemmed in by the surrounding mountains. I was approaching the final leg of my route--152 to (Gilroy) to 101 to (Silicone Valley)--when I decided to refuel at the closest station, just up the road in Santa Nella. While refueling, I thought about the route, specifically 152, which is winding through mountains and has some narrow 2-lane sections; then there is 101, which is a very fast and can be congested road. I looked at the bright lights around me, the welcoming motels/eateries/overnighteries (which must be expensive), and wondering if it was worth it to do the final two hours in the VISIBILITY limiting inversion layer. No, my wife, son/DIL/grandchildren would understand, so I sought out the least expensive option, overnighting where the light is always on for me, Motel 6. I entered the office to meet friendly Liz, who did have a room available for a single male/non-smoking/no pet traveller. Seeing my stick, she queried me about needing a ground floor room, but I, fearful of a huge price tag, declared upstairs was OK. It turns out it was NOT OK. It was bloody cold; there were NO in-room controls to adjust temperatures, though I could turn the fan on or off. It's a good thing I had ample cold-weather clothing! The room had the usual amenities of TV-remote/mini-fridge/microwave and was kind of large. But the bed was terrible; way too soft and saggy! I was sure my back was going to suffer. I wished I had spent the extra bucks for the ground floor room! Other than receptionist Liz, I did not enjoy this overnight. If you stay here, do not take any rooms on the second floor, and I'm uncertain about the Ground floor rooms. Unfortunately, the ice machine was not working.

I was traveling from San Diego to San Francisco and knew we would need a few hours of sleep, so I called ahead around midnight to confirm availability. I let them know we would arrive around 2:00 AM. The gentleman on the phone was polite and confirmed a rate of $122 plus tax, with payment upon arrival. When we arrived at 2:00 AM, the front desk experience was immediately uncomfortable. The woman working the desk seemed irritated that we were there at all. When I asked for a room, she quoted $156. I calmly explained that I had just spoken with their reservation line and was quoted $122. She responded bluntly, "We don't price match," and said she didn't care who I spoke with. She then told me that if she honored that rate, she would also charge a $50 early check-in fee. While standing in the lobby, I called the reservation number again and was once more quoted the $122 rate. While I was on the phone, the front desk attendant was frantically texting someone on her personal phone, which felt very odd. The reservation agent placed me on hold and called the front desk directly. I was standing right in front of her while this happened. She told them she could not honor the rate because she had already "done her checkout for the night." I genuinely felt like I was being taken advantage of and that the refusal was personal and spiteful rather than policy-based. To make matters worse, the front desk employee then walked into the back and took a call on her personal phone. As we were preparing to leave, I saw a large cockroach scurry across the lobby floor. That was the final confirmation that leaving was the right decision. I have never been so disappointed in a hotel or its customer service, and this experience was enough to ensure I will not stay at a La Quinta again. I will be reporting this experience to corporate, and I strongly suggest management re-evaluate overnight staffing and customer service standards at this location. Sometimes the universe steps in for a reason. This was one of those times.

The hotel feels like it's a man's hotel because of the dark colors like dark forest green with black.

They have two sets of soaking tubs one set is where you have to have clothing on and the other one is ware clothing is optional. The one with the clothing required was full, so I decided to track over to the clothing optional part. For those I'd like to go in the nude the area is fenced off, so nobody can see inside, but I decided to go in in my swimsuit. It was a great relaxing time where I took time to read a book that I haven't been able to enjoy for a while. Since I had packed a lunch, I went to over one of the picnic tables that they had and enjoy my lunch. After lunch, I headed over to the regular pool again. It was a great temperature and soaked for a little bit, took in the sun and then headed on back home. This is a fantastic place if somebody wants to do a day trip. However, there are areas where you can camp out with cabins and I believe in airstream you can rent out. Highly recommend.
