We liked the breakfast, location near food options and freeway access, clean pool and hot tub, soft towels, plenty of parking, housekeeping every day, great water pressure, comfortable queen beds, cold water offered around the clock in the lobby. We disliked the smoke scent in our room, uneven floor in the room, only having one washer/dryer in the hotel, hot (no ac) gym, heard the upstairs residents-not soundproof, ants inside our bathroom and didn’t like the sink outside the bathroom.

Check in guy had no personality, seemed annoyed to have to help do something (other worker seemed much better). Very outdated room. Ants in bathroom, hand soap was pretty much empty, furniture looked like it needed a deep clean. Bed was comfortable, so that was good. Wouldn’t choose this hotel again though, especially with other options around that are probably better in all areas. The place just felt old & not that clean, we expected better for the price.

Highly recommended! The location was perfect. Close to I-5 yet on a quiet street. Shopping and restaurants close by. The suite was very nice... neat, clean, very spacious. The pool area was nice. On the 2nd floor there was a really nice large outdoor patio above the pool with plenty of comfy furniture and tables and chairs. Good variety for free breakfast. All of the staff was so kind and helpful. Good free parking. There wasn't anything lacking. One of the best places we've stayed. Thank you everyone!

Room was accurate to description. Some cabinetry and accessory items were in rough shape but not bad overall. Complimentary breakfast was good. The pullout sofa bed was not comfortable. Springs could be felt through and only a young light child could sleep on it without getting sore from springs.
