Nice, clean accommodations

Nice, clean accommodations. Spartan, no luxury, but very comfortable and everything you need. Great price point. Pleasant staff. Minimal breakfast selections ... muffins, cereal, and the all-important coffee. Liked the aroma of their "Zero" personal care products. Location handy to restaurants, gas stations, Dutch Bros, freeway.
