This hotel is spotless, they are cheerfully cleaning the lobby all day. We would leave for a few hours and come back to a clean and orderly room. Jose at the front desk is delightful, helpful & courteous. Always smiling. This is our 4th time staying here and we will be back, of course. The location in north county cannot be beat.

We did not have breakfast. We did not sleep well because of all the noise from slamming doors and people walking in the hallways and the noise from the freeway. The hotel smelled strong of bleach. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Coffee in room was ok but literally provided only one packet of cream and sugar.
