We wanted to round out the trip with a nice stay at a B&B. I searched online and the Red Castle Inn seemed a perfect fit. Our stay there was historic, peaceful and clean. The host, Conley was helpful and respected our privacy. The breakfast was wonderful. We were served, eggs ala julia child with sateed mushrooms, stuffed tomatos, two different freshly baked bread choices (cheddar biscuits and sourdough rolls), fresh strawberries San Fran style, fresh juice, fruit smoothies, tea and coffee. delicious. A red folder provided contains a great deal of the castles history. We have agreed that we must go back again and again till we have experienced each rooms individual charm. Thank you Mary lousie and Conley, you made my birthday a relaxing, memorable stay. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409268 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409267 The innkeepers were extremely pleasant, interesting and accomodating, and the breakfasts were diverse and delicious. The attention to the care of our room each day was greatly apprciated. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409267 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r513044 The innkeepers made it clear they only wanted to be paid. There was no customer service at all. The man and the women wanted no contact. They just served breakfast in a hall and ran back to their rooms. Their junk was next to the garden by the house. I felt so uncomfortable and was afraid to ask for ice. Never at anytime did they introduce themselves or make any eye contact. Very strange. There was no attempt by the owners to make anyone feel at home. The main conversation amongst the guest was their lack of innkeeper skill's. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r513044 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409266 Charming victorian atmosphere, welcoming personable innkeepers, delicious breakfast, and convenient location close to beatiful downtown http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409266 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409265 The pictures just do not do these rooms justice. This was a lovely b&b. The owners are very friendly and very much respect your privacy....so don't expect too much chatting until around breakfast time. The breafast was fantastic and they did a wonderful job putting it together. The Inn is in a very convienent location and has alot of history behind it. The flowers are beautiful in the spring. You are close to the freeway but not so close that you hear it from in the inn. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409265 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409264 When I was at the red castle, I noticed that the bed in the gold room I was staying in was smaller than the "queen" I have at home, so it was cramped. Also, the breakfast was absolutely nothing like the fancy chef prepared breakfast that was advertised on the website. The pictures here do not well represent the food either. I was very disappointed with this in particular because I had decided to stay here based on how fantastic their breakfast looked on the website. I was tricked by that. Otherwise, the inn is a very beautiful and well decorated place situated in a quiet place just next to town. I love the garden. Parking is a nightmare though, and I didn't like the lady of the house all that much. It is a very beautiful place, and I wish I had stayed for tea. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409264 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409263 Good points: `Respectful owners `tasty simple breakfast made by the owner `near town `pretty garden and pond `beautiful decor `Nice rooms `Very clean `reasonable service `Good price `very quiet at night `nice library `they come to turn down your bed in the evenings `morning paper delivered to your door `Spirit may be living there Bad points: `beds a little small `moldy curtains outside `parking limited `parlor curfew 9:30 pm `Lady of the house very reserved and strict. `breakfast did not include any of the menu listed on the website, and no special chef prepared it. ` tea time costs extra `No tea (just the beverage) available during other times of the day except breakfast and teatime http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409263 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409262 We stayed here the night of our wedding, and it was fabulous! It was the cutest setting and a wonderful meal. I've heard people say the rooms were cold, but on a honeymoon night we sure couldn't tell! The location is easy to access, yet had a very secluded feel. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409262 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409261 Great experience--excellent food! Only issue was the room was very cold. Would advise to visit in warmer weather! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409261 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/The_Red_Castle_Historic_Lodging/r409260 Everything was said above.
