Firm and soft pillow options were very nice. Breakfast was pretty darn good. I was up very early to go for a run and they were just starting to set up for breakfast. Even though breakfast didn’t open for over an hour the guy setting things up offered me a muffin and a cup of coffee. Seems like a small gesture but, It made a massive difference in my day.

Pool was closed and the sign stating it was closed looked rather permanent as though it hadn’t been open in months. If you are unable to offer a pool, you need to remove it from your list of amenities. I understand things happen, equipment breaks etc…but it really seemed like it was simply closed for the winter or something. This should have been reflected on the website and also mentioned to us at check in.

It was beautiful. The staff were very professional and easy to work with and they were always very accommodating. Our room was always so clean and ready for us at the end of the day. Also, the breakfast was phenomenal. Plenty of options for all types of eaters (health nut and picky alike). Really great stay.

It would be so wonderful if some hotel anywhere would have a comfortable pull out bed.

I love coming to Davis sadly this was probably the last time visiting the area because my daughter graduated UC Davis. The location was great literally on campus surrounded by plenty of restaurants and shops.

The property itself was great I would’ve put all high ratings except for the fact there was a dirty towel folded nice and neat in the bathroom. My wife was showering when she noticed it and almost used it.

Rooms in both suites were large, very clean, beds and pillows are very comfortable. Staff was pleasant to deal with. Breakfast was very satisfying, much better than in many hotels we stayed previously. We definitely will stay here in Davis again.

Nothing can be done about air conditioner / heater. It blows air so strongly, that we kept it going on for several minutes and turned it off. You can be sick easily if you leave it on for a night. Also the unis is loud. This is only minus in this hotel. We will stay here for one night as needed, so for one night it's OK and somehow we will manage. Probably if the hotel offers central air conditioning, the room price will be much, much higher.

This hotel was one of the cheapest of our Californian trip yet it was one of the most modern, cleanest and offered the biggest room! Really good value for money. We enjoyed the pool, we loved the big airy room, very comfortable bed! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was just what we needed to start the day off and very uncomplicated - which we liked.

We had a room on the ground floor, near the breakfast area, which I would avoid in the future as it became quite noisy early in the morning. The jacuzzi water looked a little unclear - not so clean so we did not try it.

Everything was convenient, there was a full breakfast area. I really enjoyed how seamless everything was. My room was big and had everything I needed. Also, great gym for when I needed to run.

Noise from above. I was on the bottom floor, there for a conference with UC Davis. It was hard to sleep as I could hear a lot of noise from above.

Nice location with plenty of parking spots. Close to dontown and UC Davis. Also easy to get on and off I-80 freeway. The room we stayed in (2 queen beds, on first floor) is spacious and has high ceiling which is really nice.

Didn't eat the breakfast at hotel because the choices were not appropriate for my dietary needs, which was very disappointing. Need to have more gluten-free choices.

1) the hallway was stifling hot. There were no windows, or a/c on. I was on the 3rd floor 2) the bed/mattress was extremely high. It was difficult to get into the bed. Not all of your customers are tall. Some of us are barely 5" and would benefit from a foot stool to assist.

Room was spacious and well equipped. Bed was comfortable.

I was counting on the available EV charging, however, it is not complimentary and I was not able to get the app to work, so I had to go elsewhere to charge.

The staff were friendly and very hospitable, from check in to housekeeping, everyone was fantastic! Our room was nice and clean, very comfortable beds, good variety and taste of breakfast foods. The pool was refreshing and the use of free bicycles was really fun.
