The outdoor patio/bbq area was dirty the entire 3 day stay. The firepit did not work. We asked for maid service 1 day (out of 3) and our room was not cleaned. The breakfast buffet had very little fruit and only turkey sausage. What we liked-the room was clean and in good repair. The building was quiet inside (outside was loud by the freeway). The kitchen had all the basic equipment and the laundry facilities were good.

Easy check-in, nice room. A little bit confusing at first because there are two different buildings and we had a little trouble finding where our room actually was, but they were very helpful at the front desk and sorted it out for us. All in all, it’s a nice property. Very quiet and clean. My only complaint is that as a tea drinker, there is no way to simply make hot water in the room. The coffee maker only works if there is a Keurig pod installed. They do offer Jasmine tea pods but if you’re looking just to make a hot water to use your own teabag, you’re out of luck
