I’m rooting for this hotel, but there are some problems: - Check-in is clunky. Greeted by an empty lobby with a screen that said it could not help us check in. Eventually a friendly woman showed up. Great. But wait—we have to wait for a second person she is training, who shows up a few minutes later. They should have my email from my online reservation, yet the ask for it. After several quiet minutes of typing, the front desk person said to check my email on my phone. There, is an email with my room number and a code for the door. How is this an improvement from a standard 2 minute check-in anywhere else? - First room had a few issues with the “tech”. The TV and lamps did not work. We did get a new room where things worked - However, the second room’s bathroom floor and shower were very dirty, with long, dark hairs that were not ours. I’d like to support this independent hotel, but will not be back. Sadly, I will go back to one of the maybe chains that just has their act together.

The tv did not work in our room and we were told maintenance would come look at it but nobody did. Traveling with a toddler and no tv is less than ideal. Ive called management 3 times to complain but have yet to get a response regarding compensation for the lack of amenities on the room

This place was refurbished. And it looks really nice in pictures but they cut a lot of corners. Bathroom had a lbit of mold along the edges that hadn’t been cleaned for a very long time. The bad frame was aluminum made a bunch of noise as you sit down. The lamps didn’t work although we appreciated the USB next to the bed. We loved that they had free laundry and coffee. But it’s next to El Camino and they didn’t have blinds that can block out the light. They put incredibly bright lightbulbs on the outside, which then shined into the room. In summary, unless you’re OK with a loud room and light coming in, I’d look for a different place.

The virtual check-in was not working and entire system had to be on both ends due to no audio/video. Bathroom sink did not drain AT ALL. Window Shutters were broken and could not be closed making room visible from outside at night. Toilet ran all night after being flushed. No staff available.Not worth the money.
