Lon’s offers gourmet meals in the warm, historic building or on a charming patio lit by hanging lights and surrounded by trees. The staff is friendly and attentive, making each stay memorable. Many visitors celebrate special occasions here, noting the cozy rooms, beautiful scenery, and excellent service. Some reviews mention minor issues like noise from staff areas or service details, but overall, guests find the Hermosa Inn to be a luxurious, peaceful retreat perfect for a romantic getaway or a special staycation.
Loved the cozy atmosphere here. Room was clean and staff were very welcoming. Only issue was the AC was a bit loud at night, but otherwise a solid experience.
