Quaint old-style motor lodge with charming colorful outdoor pots and hanging plants, located in a gorgeous woodsy setting, with a friendly staff. Since the building backs up right to a mountain, I don't believe there are any private decks or balconies, but there is a very nice outdoor pool in a quiet, serene setting with comfortable seating choices. Our room had a pool view (across a parking lot) and was spacious and comfortable, though a bit musty (moldy?). The toilet/tub room was barely large enough to move around and had very dim lighting. The lavatory sink/counter was within the room itself, right as you walk into the door, with minimal but adequate toiletries available. Also, a convenient mini-fridge, microwave and coffee pot were provided. And, one of the best things about Occidental for us - you can walk (down a bit of a steep driveway) to several restaurants, all within 3 blocks. Try Hazel's - we thought it was pretty amazing!
