The Skyview Motel

For years my travels have taken me up and down California State highway 101. Having driven past the Hotel on the hill in Los Alamos hundreds of times I’d always wondered. “What is that place like?”

Then one day on a drive past I noticed that it was being remodeled. Which typically means that they’re making it nicer, more accommodating, and much more luxurious.

Now years later my wife and I found time to stop and stay for a night. The two sets of motel style rooms are split by a beautiful garden area with fire pit’s and water features strewn throughout. Next to the restaurant is the pool with it’s outside bar.

Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a secluded outside patio which faced the hills away from the highway. We had a private gas fireplace and outdoor shower (which for whatever reason was only hooked up to the cold water).

Either way this may have quickly become one of our “getaway” spots.
When we just need a 24-hour reset and silence.
