Location is great, rooms are clean and friendly staff
Everything was great, front desk staff was very knowledgeable. Very impressed with the breakfast, there were two wonderful employee ladies who were running it and they were so attentive and friendly. The pool was very clean which is always something nice to see.
We were very happy with this hotel and they put us right beside the pool which the kids loved even more! We were able to borrow a set of kitchen equipment and used the cooktop to make food which was a nice option not usually available when staying in a hotel. I would also say that the breakfast was better than some, lots of options and they were very actively keeping it stocked and clean.
Clean rooms, friendly service, and the breakfast area was really nice :)
We especially enjoyed the hot tub and pool temps, even during Cali Winter time—thank you!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Clean rooms, good amenities, good value. Friendly and courteous staff.
I think you just need a little bit more variety for your breakfast different type of proteins, everything else was good and the lady who serve it was wonderful
Wonderful hotel but we were up all night because the upstairs people were stomping and making a bunch of noise so we didn’t really get to enjoy our stay but it is a nice safe place
