Hmmm Excellent Ratings are very questionable! First off, it said hotel on website, it’s not a hotel- it’s a motel! Driving into the lot, if I wouldn’t have already paid-(and a lot!) and wasn’t so tired , I would have drove away! From the outside- beat up separate little cottages- tight parking too. The room was pretty good inside- clean and comfy, but.. since it was a sketchy area and I was alone with my granddaughter- I didn’t feel too safe. And they didn’t have a deadbolt-so ended up putting a chair against the door. Breakfast was coffee , some packaged muffins and instant oatmeal The proprietor was nice. Lastly, there was an extra charge after I booked (property fee) I didn’t notice since I was busy at universal studios , and I assumed all fees were included per the description on Expedia’s website.

The front desk was not staffed. I called the hotel ahead of time trying to see if we can store our luggage before check in. The person on the phone told me to be there after 10 am. When I got there at 10:30 am, a person told men he's the gardener and he helped me store my luggage. When we checked out, there is a gardener serving us but all he did was a to have us writing down our names on a form. The place is newly renovated and very clean. However, there is no pool or outside sitting area where you can sit and relax. If you are looking for a clean place to sleep, this world work. It has all the basics with microwave, kettle and fridge.

Mostly great.

Clean, modern, comfortable room. Only drawback: no place to hang anything! Not one closet, hook, hanger in sight. Drawers were supplied, but if you wanted to hang up a coat or towel forget it.

Adorable older property. We thought we were staying in the cottages. Each one had a partially covered parking spot. We were told we were staying next door. This property is newly renovated. Parking spots are small and of course we have an SUV. The room had new floors. New bathroom. It was perfect for us. Many restaurants within walking distance. Definitely would stay here again.
