Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a great choice for travelers due to its convenient location near Highway 101, close to a mall and restaurants. The rooms are well-equipped on the first floor with a microwave and fridge, offering a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional from booking to check-out despite the busy Labor Day weekend. The dining options are sufficient with a varied continental breakfast. The location near popular eateries and quick access to the freeway adds to the hotel's appeal.
I found the hotel to be a great choice for a relaxing stay. The rooms were clean and spacious, the pool area was nice for a refreshing dip, and having a laundry facility was a big plus after traveling for a while. The continental breakfast was good, although the breakfast area needed some attention. The hotel had a bit of a dated look overall, but the suite I stayed in was large and comfy.
I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and new the rooms were, especially the smoking room which is rare to see well-maintained in many hotels. However, some areas looked a bit dated. The service provided by Larry was exceptional, going above and beyond to assist not only me but also an elderly lady with special needs. The location, while convenient near the freeway and other hotels, felt a bit chipped and unsafe at times. The dining experience with a good continental breakfast was a nice addition. The facilities met my needs during my stay.
I found the hotel to be a pleasant stay overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, although they looked a bit dated, and I was not impressed with the breakfast offerings. The service was accommodating, but there were some concerns about security. The location was convenient, making it a good resting spot for travelers. The dining experience was average, with limited options. Price seemed fair, but there are areas that could be improved.
