    We weren’t able to use the tv in our room because it wouldn’t connect to the internet, also we had some difficulty controlling the heater so our room got very warm at times.

    We had a lot of fun using the 420 room with juke box and arcade games. We also enjoyed using the hot tub late at night and the breakfast in the morning was very good!

    the volcano vaporiser that was provided looked like it had never ever been cleaned. this was extremely disappointing as we were really looking forward to using it, but it would have been a health hazard to use. also the lighting in the room was very low

    unique accommodation, great view. was able to smoke cannabis inside. good coffee. free parking.

    We love the idea of the TV on the ceiling but it was a little difficult to watch even while lying down as it was directly above. Ideally (though not really a big deal), it would be better placed a little more forward.

    Breakfast was perfect. Room was very comfortable and theme based which was really cool. Loved meeting the resident cats, Edwardo and Norma, who were very sweet.

    The sheets on the round bed kept popping off which was annoying, but didn’t take anything away from the stay / experience.

    So many fun things to do on the property! The spa under the trees was a great place to wind down, the arcade provided entertainment and many laughs, it was all perfect for a fun getaway. The staff were AMAZING, and the breakfast was delicious!!! They even made me a gluten free & vegetarian meal!! The kitties were adorable & sweet too!

    The property is pretty enchanting but it is worth mentioning that they are actively doing updates, so some rooms are newer and cleaner.

    Such a unique experience! Fun amenities: hot tub, arcade room, record player, being able to smoke in the 420 room, all of the views, too many to list!

    The bed was somewhat comfy, but I guess there is no boxspring underneath the mattresses?

    Breakfast was wonderful! They actually make a homemade breakfast for you and it is included in your stay. They are very mindful to dietary needs.

    There were ants in the bathroom and there was no soap or shampoo in the shower. There was only one light blanket in the room so we gave it to our friend who slept on the couch and just used the sheet. It got very cold in the room and so we did not sleep well. I'm not sure if there's a heater, but we could not find one.

    The breakfast was so amazing and as always the staff were incredibly lovely. The room was very fun and I was happy the hot tub was open.

    1. Skeleton and room with heavy Halloween decoration. 2. The room was very dark with insufficient lighting 3. Dark walls (which is different than pictures online) 4. Recreational drugs 5. Causes allergies 6. against my belief

    The pictures online shows clean and nice rooms but after my arrival, the condition was not acceptable and was not livable for my family and a friend. We immediately returned the room, and they still charge me $297 dollar. We left the Hicksville Bud and Breakfast. The online picture can be misleading, the room cause my friend sick.

    The place is a real mess. The thermostat in our room was broken and in 40 degree weather this quickly became quite unpleasant, staff provided a space heater that blew the circuits, we then changed rooms to much smaller room and the heater in there wouldn't turn off so it was way too hot. Management offered paltry "refund" that was less that the difference between the rooms. We drove 120 miles to basically be told if we didn't like it we could turn around and go back, not particularly great customer service. Apparently under new management as of a month or so ago and the staff, as friendly and helpful as they were trying to be, simply weren't trained to handle these kinds of problems, they kept calling the management team who apparently are based in Joshua Tree and got only half measure replies that didn't do anything to really address our valid concerns. Sucks too, was really looking forward to this little vacation but it really fell way short of my expectations.

    Beautiful location, friendly staff
