The latest technologies in internet connection and AV fit our theme! Want to make this a mini-vacation?

Work-out in our fully equipped fitness center, take a dip in our heated pool and jacuzzi, enjoy a game of tennis, basketball, or volleyball on our courts located in our adjacent Edenvale Park. It is only a short distance to many of the recreational opportunities of Northern California.
