It was in a noisy street and the AC kept turning on and off. I didn’t sleep at all. The bathroom needed repair and needed to be cleaned better.

When I say this place met my expectations I mean IT REALLY STOOD OUT. The rooms were clean, neat and well decorated. Check in was easy. Whole property was clean and well tucked away off main street. Will stay again!

Smaller room than I usually expect in a California suburb. Room was clean and mostly fine, but room had minor maintenance issues and the neighboring guests were occasionally loud late at night (particularly on Saturday night) In all it was adequate but I’d probably look elsewhere next time.

Overall, this place was fine and got the job done for a one night stay, but definitely had a few issues. The remote check-in process was a little bizarre and there was a ton of lag between me and the person via video. She was also a little aggressive about filling out the guest survey after and told me to complete it in front of her when I said I would prefer getting settled in my room first. The room itself was okay, but that bathroom had a few stray hairs stuck to the wall and a hole in the ceiling where a vent or light should have been? There was also some sort of overnight construction happening nearby and there were jackhammers going off from 11:00pm until nearly 3:00am. It made sleep nearly impossible. Did appreciate the parking, though, as well as the snacks and water bottles.

It was AWFUL from check in to check out! DO NOT STAY HERE! The check in process was with AI gal in India! She was hard to understand. No one was onsite to speak with. Had a problem with the TV that didn’t work and they expected to charge us more money to move us to another room. We refused to pay more! Hotel was more than 3/4 empty! They finally agreed to have us move. We had to take all our stuff (we had tons as we were on the road for 3 weeks and I have a bad knee) back downstairs and back upstairs in another room in another building! We wasted almost 3 hours with arguing and finally moving! We asked to speak with someone and were told someone would be there around 11 or 12 the next day! Needless to say, we had to be on the road way before that

One of the bed’s frame was broken. The floor in both the room and the bathroom needs to be mopped. The water in the sink and shower started out light brown before becoming clear after a few minutes of leaving the water running.
