Convenient location

Facility is clean and well-kept. However the location is near freeway and homeless tend to hang out along street. It is close to the freeway and downtown is not far. Outside pool is nice and gets some shade later in the day.

Clean and Renovated

The hotel was nicely renovated and clean. The staff a bit unenthusiastic, and the neighborhood not so inviting. The hotel is removed from dining and walkable activities, but the room was clean and comfortable for one night on a long trip.

Very Soft Beds

Second time I’ve stayed here. Pros: neighborhood a bit sketchy but I always feel safe on the property. They are diligent about keeping away the riff raff. Great pool, great breakfast, quiet, close to restaurants and not too far from downtown. HOWEVER I’m not sure if I will be able to return. The bed was so soft my lower back was in pain all through the night. Like I couldn’t sleep and woke up multiple times. Bummer because I can’t find any other faults with the property.

Very clean and has had a recent makeover. Everything was new and modern. Plenty of parking. The breakfast was okay. Maybe some more fruit would be nice. Good coffee and choices of quick food you could take back to your room was nice. Pool was not crowded even with teams if ball players there.
