My husband and I stayed her with our 4 teens for one night. The room was a little smaller than I was thinking, but we had enough room. It was very quiet, super clean and didn't smell bad like some hotels can. The beds were comfortable; however the hideaway couch had a super thin mattress which was very uncomfortable. The blanket provided for the hideaway was very scratchy and reminiscent of a hospital blanket. The staff was friendly and polite. There was alot of selections for breakfast and it was fresh. My kids were disappointed that the pool was closed, something we didn't know when we booked.

Our room was very spacious and clean. Nothing to do with the hotel, but did not like the “soft water” in the area that makes you feel like you’re always soaped up. We were on the second floor and the occupants above us had very heavy feet; loud above. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay, nice hotel!

When I walked into my room, it smelled clean. It was not musty or moldy or fragrant just clean. Breakfast was very good. Freshly ground coffee, hot cinnamon rolls, push a button and you get two pancakes. Even the stir sticks are individually packaged. Very good selections with three milk choices. Great

Nice and quiet

Nice and quiet . Lot’s of parking spots. Close to DT Davis and UC Davis.close to freeway. Only complaint is the shower which is a bit slow. We stayed there to drop off my daughter to UC Davis. There’s a fast food named The four seasons gourmet restaurant in the gas station area is very good. Hidden gems.
