Ponte Vineyard Inn

Ponte Vineyard Inn

10/10 Excellent
"This is a Stunning hotel with very large rooms and the biggest shower I have seen in a hotel. The staff was amazing...They greeted us with a glass of Muscato and gave us a free wine tasting at the winery. Our first floor room had a lovely patio that looked out to the pond and vineyards. There is coffeemaker in the room, so we made our morning coffee, sat on the patio and enjoyed our beautiful surroundings. We had a wonderful late lunch on the patio restaurant at the winery followed by a glass of wine later in the evening at the Cellar. The next morning we had a delicious breakfast on the patio in the hotel. Thie location is fabulous, many wonderful wineries/restaurants minutes away. Shopping Mall, Pechanga Casino and Old Town are 10-15 minutes by car. Treat yourself to Tuscany in Temecula.....Free Parking!"

8/10 Good
"Property and staff were excellent. The breakfast bar was kept well stocked and for an inexpensive hotel, there was plenty of variety to choose from. The pool, though small was adequate and clean as was all the pool furniture. We appreciated the small "store" where we could get drinks, snacks and microwavable food at reasonable prices. I do wish I could do 4.5 stars as the only complaint we had, even though a big one for us, was the toilet in our room. It was so very low that a 5-year-old would be very comfortable getting on and off, but it was not designed for 5ft.2-inch and 6ft adults. With it being so low, and the water-level in the bowl being at a normal depth, we would get our hands wet when having to do normal toiletry activities."
