In transition

This hotel was in transition to "Spark" when we stayed there. We had stayed several times in the past, but this time we were disappointed with the breakfast which was practically nothing (coffee, yogurt, muffins). I hope that will improve in the future.

The hotel is in the middle of converting to a Spark Hilton property and are upgrading everything. The bed and pillows are the most comfortable I've slept on in ages! The breakfast is nice and FINALLY, when completed, they will have coffee available 24/7 in the lobby. If you ever stay there, check out Taste of India across the freeway that has some of the best Indian food!

Can't wait until the construction is completed. Property so close to the freeway was surprisingly quiet (a big plus). My family will definitely keep this in mind when we travel from Oregon to California again.

Great Staff, No Coffee

Staff is great, and I appreciate that they are remodeling the entire place but not having coffee in the morning is a deal breaker. No coffee in the room and no coffee in the breakfast room area. Apparently they didn’t have water in the kitchen so no coffee. How about a couple of Kueregs and some bottled water?
