The room was clean and spacious. The Latino decor was lovely, with colorful photos of local Latino dance performers and terra cotta tile and flooring in the bathroom with floral accents. The breakfast was fantastic—ham and eggs, biscuits & gravy, fancy instant coffee maker, fresh fruit cups, yogurt.
Orange peels in the parking lot not picked up. two bathroom lights and fan go on automatically. couldn't turn them off. Some rooms are hard to find.

Liked the location of the property but was not happy with the location of our room. We had to park a block away in the midst of construction workers trucks. However, we liked the office and breakfast facility.
We didn’t like the location of our room. Parking access was a block away and was difficult to maneuver because of ongoing parking lot work and worker’s trucks utilizing most all of the parking spots.

Staff was able to accommodate my request for an easy access ground floor room. They were kind and very helpful with my questions and went above my expectations for my needs.
I have this complaint with all hotels but it's noisy. You can hear traffic, car and room doors closing very loudly. There's a loud "booosh" every time my upstairs neighbor flushed. This is typical of every hotel I've had so not unique to this one.

Staff were wonderfully welcoming and you could get freshly-baked cookies and coffee in the foyer any time! Breakfast was excellent - a special mention should be made of the fresh biscuits (scones) served up every morning.
Can't think of anything bad. In fact we enjoyed our stay so much, we went back again a few nights later!

Well stocked breakfast with multiple choices. Rooms a little small for the price. Decor a little worn but well maintained. Kids loves the pool. No ability to stream on the TV. TV screen a little small. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Breakfast was good, service was great. 1st upstairs room we got was not great plus stairs up were impossible for my sister. Front desk was super understanding and immediately put us in a nice quiet ground floor room. The entire staff was caring and efficient. Will return.

The cookies upon arrival were delicious! The breakfast was awesome. Thank you for providing a diabetic friendly breakfast it’s raw to come by. The room decor was amazing and the shower pressure was awesome
Well paying $225 a night and having a wall view was kinda a bummer. Also the ax turns off and on so the bed was great but hard to sleep room got warm and the air mc took awhile to kick back on. Also the TV was small and laying in bed our feet blocked the screen. Didn’t make for good to watching while relaxing.

Decent variety of breakfast. The hot water was amazingly good and fast.
For those of us working in he area, a 7 am start is a little too late to be able to eat and get to the jobsite. We couldn't use the included breakfast but 2 times out of 4 days because of that rule. The fried eggs were so-so. The towels were acceptable. I never like being asked if I want the room cleaned. Just clean it. Didn't know where the ice maker was. There was a truck with an extension ladder sticking out of it in the parking lot for the entire time and never moved.

Very clean room and common areas, great location, comfortable beds, wonderful breakfast, free parking, nice pool, really nice staff and we liked the decorations and beautiful roses and plants all around the hotel.
A little loud street noise so bring a white noise machine or load one on your phone if you are a light sleeper.

The location is alright seems a downtown/central area with limited Parking. The breakfast is sometimes what I’m looking for as it is a buffet style meal. Staff are friendly too.
The room we stayed have some strange smell but can be manageable or doable.
