I was very impress with what was provided except the complimentary breakfast was suppose to start at 7am; this did not happen either day I was there. The room was very clean and well maintained. There was no musty smell. The days I was there it was quiet at night so I slept well. The location is just off the 101 hyway so easy to get wherever you are going.

The person at the front desk was so unprofessional, he just threw the room cards at us and talked really disrespectfully. He was super dirty himself, his shirt was stained. The room was also dirty and smelled horrible. The bed covers were stained too. We didn't even stay there. We went back to the office, canceled, and asked for a refund. I definitely don't recommend this hotel at all.
