Skyview Motel

This "Motel" was such an unexpected surprise!Yes, the rooms are (very!) small, but are also really cute, and they made great use of the space, especially the bathroom, though I would've liked a counter for all of my stuff. For the price (we booked on Hotel Tonight for about $180/night), it's a screaming deal!The property has clearly been recently renovated, the staff is super friendly, it's at the top of a hill, it has an amazing view of the surrounding hills, and it has a cool mid century modern vibe. They have a nice restaurant on the property, and, while we didn't eat there, we did have some cocktails, and they were great. There is no gym, so getting a workout may have to be a hike on many of the nearby trails or a short walk to town to try some of the fantastic food the town has to offer. Bonus: a heated pool and FREE TESLA CHARGERS, and nobody was using them for the two days we were there. Is it the four seasons? No, but I would totally stay there again.

I have driven by this place for years.,. Have noticed the motel sign on the hill, Magazine article interested me. I booked a room and was blown away. Kind of back to the 50s. I will definitely be back and I'm hoping for other retro motels like this.

It was a fun motel. We have been trying out old and revitalized motels in California. We tried this one like we tried the Alamo. Alamo motel in Los Alamos, which, by the way, is a great little spot. You know about 4 hours from Long Beach before. I get 6 hours on to Yosemite. That was our trip this time, so we had a fun

This motel exceeded expectations! It felt nothing like a motel. Great service, atmosphere, food, and outstanding overnight staff. Highly recommend for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

LOVE IT!!!!and the hotel restaurant Norman... wonderful. Especially dinner. The steak and shrimp, yummy. Not the shrimp though. But the steak and the accompanying French whipped potatoes were next level. Wine, so so. I mean you're amidst some fantastic vineyards and makers, so you could do better. The service at dinner and at breakfast were just the best!!!!!! There's a nice little pool, adult only, with bar service. The rooms are darling as well. Really comfy beds and nice bathrooms. All told, a wonderful place to stay.

Had my eye on this spot after seeing friends' post Instagram photos from a recent staycation. Then learned of Bell's Los Alamos (Michelin Star restaurant) nearby, and decided to make a mini-trip from LA! Just as cozy, well appointed, and lovingly decoarted in person as the photos show! Spoke with Mitch via phone prior to the stay and he was so helpful. In person, he ended up being just as helpful- and took photos of us on the deck overlooking the hills!Norman, their bar/restaurant, was lovely and sits poolside, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Breakfast was included (though our only bummer was we did not know this as it was not mentioned by the front desk when we arrived). Menu item I loved was a Yellowtail Crisp of some kind. We had wine outdoor on the deck, lovely view. It was a bit too cold when we stayed to enjoy the benefits of the outdoor shower on our room's patio (we upgraded to this room for that reason), but could not have been more gorgeous to wakeup to cherry blossoms lining our patio deck looking onto verdant green hills.Los Alamos, the small stretch of road which has the shoppes, is actually closed on TUES/WEDS every week. So be aware of this if you book, because we weren't!Cute stay and short drive from LA, a nice sleepy town alternative to driving to Joshua Tree or Palm Springs if you've done that weekend getaway a lot.

Oh and I actually am the photographer for this engagement! The motel was so accomdating, so polite and sweet! Www.snm-media.com

When I think about motel I didn't except it to be like this It's so modern , situations in the hilltop with a lovely view of the vineyard/freeway ! The room/amenities where great with a affordable price ' They have a outdoor heated pool ( still too cold for us) on site chic resturant we didn't check in but purchase a bottle of wine to enjoyed sitting in the outside fireplace ! Coffee and tea was provided every morning and staff are amazing ! Definetly will revisit if we head that way !

This was my third time staying at the Skyview. The customer service is top notch. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. I love the bar vibe at their restaurant Norman's, both bartenders were very friendly and made excellent cocktails. We also love walking down to Los Alamos from the hotel.

False advertising, lack of communication, and a general lack of care for the guests.We used to really love this place and have celebrated two separate birthday trips and special occasions here. Unfortunately our latest stay was a sharp downturn from the place we knew and loved. We decided to come for the "stay and dine" package as last time we visited we really enjoyed breakfast on the patio. The "stay and dine" package was advertised as a $50 credit at Norman, which we were excited to use for breakfast. The website says Norman is open for breakfast Monday-Friday, 8-10:30am. However, when we went to the restaurant (during their posted business hours) for breakfast, we were surprised to find it was actually closed.My husband and I are big fans of breakfast and love going to diners- it's sort of our special thing we do. If we had known, we probably would've opted to stay somewhere different. Or if they had informed us, we could've used the credit for some fun cocktails the night before or whatever.It would've been fine if we'd been informed about this, and/or if the website accurately reflected their dining choices & the limitations on the credit.I think the thing that irked me the most is when I let them know their website is out of date, the restaurant is actually closed, and we were unable to use our credit, they gaslit me and said it was "an improved experience to guests". I actually found it to be disappointing. I asked if there was anything else we could do to redeem the credit (maybe some waters at the mini bar) they said no. I would have to say that having up to date website info, and informing your guests accurately about the services/amenities that are available is crucial. Anything else is really false advertising.Side note- they provided the wrong information about our room as well. We were told there was no fridge in our room, but there was one. (They also didn't know the correct code to their own bike locks!)Due to this, I will not be returning here. Who knows what you'll get -and if anything on the website/what you're told about their property is actually even correct, lol.
