The Bygone

"Unfortunately, we wanted to love our stay but no one was working here since check in and the two rooms next to us have over 14 people and have been setting off fireworks all night right outside the room in the parking lot. We messaged the owners and go a response, thanks for letting us know. Nothing else. So all night got no sleep. The wifi didn’t work either. Definitely had a great view was all I could say."

"Paper thin walls. We can hear everything in the other rooms. Not a good view. Probably the only place in the area without a good view. Tiny rooms. I’d be pretty bummed if I spent $50 to stay here. Being here just makes me sad. This is a motel. I don’t even want to spend the night here. We may drive home instead."

"This was such a beautiful place to stay! The staff was extremely helpful and worked with us. We were able to check in at 1pm instead of 3pm. Not only that they gave us recommendations for a place to eat$ we can’t wait to come back! We spent a night of our honeymoon here. Will recommend to family and friends!"

"I enjoyed my stay. Attractive, cute room, which was clean. Really don't like the type of bed or bedding and huge pillows, but other people might, think my family did. The mattress is very soft. I slept fine, but do not like large pillows at all. Had to adjust the pillow, only one, so I wouldn't have a neck cramp. The rain style shower head was nice. Small bathroom, but it is an older motel that's been refurbished and it was clean. I love the balcony, but it is small, only room for 2 people, better than no balcony. A small refrigerator, no microwave, which people like to have, even us, but not a big deal for us. Great, beautiful views of the hills and valley from our room and patio. The a/c unit worked just fine. Full length mirror, no closet to hang your clothes, only a small free standing clothes rod. Needs another chest to store more clothes in a room with two beds, which we rented. The pool is not big, but it is nice, and pretty with a deck and plants. We enjoyed it. Plenty of pool chairs, and two tables, with umbrellas. We loved our stay and would love to stay again."

"The Bygone is not a boutique hotel. With recent renovations, I think that's what they were aiming for, but didn't quite get there. I'd call it an elevated roadside motel. Definitely not worth the $200/night I paid. First, the rooms are small. Much smaller than the pictures would suggest. The room I stayed in felt dirty. There were marks on the wall, some sticky substance on the floor, and the tile was moldy. And let's talk about the beds that others have mentioned. Ours creaked from the slightest movement. It even creaked once when we opened the door. The beds and bedding was weird. Super plush or just really old, I couldn't tell. The bottom sheet was not fitted, it's just tucked in, so it kept coming off. All in all, not a great sleeping experience. I reported the creaking to the office, and their response was just, "sorry about that." The other incident that made the stay unpleasant was a large group that rolled in late at night and then proceeded to have a party in the pool until midnight. Half the rooms face the pool and mine was unfortunately one of them. It was as if I was unwillingly attending at a party I desperately wanted to leave. The pool closes at 9pm. But in their defense, it's only posted two places—at the bottom of an obscured sign inside the pool and in tiny print on the hotel facts sheet in the room. Not on the gate door to the pool, or enforced by a timed lock on said door. There was an after hours number to call for what incidences like this, I presume. But no one answered calls or texts. When I finally did get an answer the next day, again it was, "sorry that happened ::shrug::" No offer to make it right. The upside of the experience was the pool. It's nice and wasn't very busy, even on the blistering July weekend we were there."
