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.
