This is a nice motel with a wonderful interior courtyard and pool with lush tropical trees and flowers and an outdoor bar that also offers food from the Crocodile Restaurant. Bartender Elias is a definite plus - personable, fun, and professional. We really enjoyed our brief stay.

Very nice hotel overall. The parking was very convenient, and the room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. However, I was quite disappointed to find that the bedsheets had not been changed and there were still blood stains on them. Other than the bedsheets, everything else was clean and convenient.

The staff were very accommodating. That said, our room 341 was very basic with a big hole that I assume once housed a microwave. There was also a black stain or the colour was worn off the toilet seat. Not what you would expect for a hotel charging over $330 per night. Made you think “shabby”.

Being able to dine at the Crocodile and sit indoors or outdoors is wonderful & so convenient. We enjoyed our meal & cocktails by the fire pit very much. The location is scenic & quiet. We stay here often & find it worthwhile in many ways.

Nice experience here at the Lemon Tree Inn, only a few things I would add. They seem to have a bit of a spider problem in the room we stayed in, saw a few over the weekend and cobwebs in the shower. Not a crazy big deal for me, as for my wife she hates spiders and I feel a lot of people would not be happy. The pool closes pretty early which had us a little disappointed but not a deal breaker. The staff was very nice and even allowed me to print something in the main office. The scenery in the main area is very nice. Overall nice place to stay

Comparable prices to other hotels in the area. Walking distance (less than 3 minutes) to a Grocery Outlet and two pizza places. Not too far from the 101 and most places for sightseeing were easy to get to from the Lemon Tree Inn. The musty smell that people wrote on other reviews was true. And my sheet did have a small wet spot when I pulled back the cover and the lamps inside the room were dusty. AC and TV worked fine, and bathroom was clean. While bath towels were provided, there was only hand soap in the bathroom and one roll of toilet paper. No shampoo or body wash/soap was in the room so be sure to bring your own toiletries just in case. According to other reviews I read I was very lucky. Would get a room again in this hotel.
