The most terrible hotel experience ever! I rarely write reviews, but I have to write one for this terrible place. First of all, the toilet was not working. When I tried to flush, it overflew and flooded the entire bathroom. Instead of fixing the problem promptly and apologizing for the inconvenience, they simply offered me a plunger to fix it myself! When I pointed out that it was their responsibility to maintain the facility, the owner gave me an extremely bad attitude. We booked this facility specifically for the hot tub they listed on the website. Turned out the hot tub was not even working. Instead of apologizing, the owner, again, gave me an extremely bad attitude and told us to check out and look for another hotel, at 9pm!!! The towels and sheets were not properly washed and had lots of stains. The room had very poor insulation. It was noisy all night from upstairs. Terrible place and terrible stuff! Definitely to be avoided. There are much better places for cheaper in the area.

Worst hotel experience ever! I rarely write reviews, but I definitely have to write one for this terrible place. The room was in very poor conditions. The toilet was not working at all. When I flushed, it overflew and flooded the whole bathroom. And instead of fixing the problem promptly, they brought me a plunger and wanted me to unclog the toilet by myself!!!

This hotel is in a convenient location to Cal Poly and the downtown area. It was comfortable, clean and affordable for a quick trip to pick up my son for winter break. This was our second stay here and the staff has been friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.
