Traveling to Mountain View with Family

I really enjoyed our stay here, it was clean, all of the staff were extremely nice, and I liked the breakfast selection. Our room was clean, the beds were comfy, and the bathroom and bathtub was clean. I liked that they used Dove products since this is the brand that we use already. All of the staff were so helpful and very friendly to my twin 5 year olds, they would ask questions and every staff greeted them with a smile and answered all of their questions. I would definitely stay here again.

Small hotel with easy parking. I loved that they served both eggs and egg whites in their buffet breakfast. I wished the heavy curtains in the room closed all the way to leave out the light. They seemed to be just for decoration which doesn’t make sense.
