Great breakfast and enjoyed the pool! Hotel just felt a bit "worn down" and miss having a coffeemaker in the room. Bed was comfortable and plenty of eating options for dinner within walking distance...including a great Thai restaurant!!

The staff was great. Beds were comfortable. The building was a little run down, and we didn’t even use the pool, it looked very green. Breakfast was just ok. The pancake machine was down

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Room was clean, but didn't have an travel dirty clothes bags. Also didn't have an extra comforter for the sofa bed, but did have sheet. Didn't use the sofa bed because there was trash, someone's dirty sock in it and the mattress on the sofa bed didn't look clean.

Very disappointing start to the stay with having the pool closed on the first day. We was told it would be closed for maintenance that day and the following day however it was open the next day but we had already rearranged our plans. Pancakes were unavailable both days, wgich was bad as 2 kid
s were only wanting to eat them. Staff were very nice.

Room was clean, and beds were nice. The outstanding part of the stay was the breakfast staff in the lobby. Two wonderful gentlemen were helping every guest. I dropped my fork on the floor, and before I could get up, one had already picked it up and replaced with a new one. They were so sweet!

Location is right off the freeway, so convenient. Off down a side street that feels remote. No food options in walking distance for dinner
