Room was clean and well kept. Maybe the best shower pressure I've ever had at a hotel in California! Check in process took a bit since i was there after the office was closed (arrived about 20:30) so had to call a number for them to unlock the lobby door so I could check in using a video call at a kiosk. Everything was good for the price a d I'd definitely stay here again. The only things didst like was that the room doesn't get dark as the blinds do not block out all the bright lights from the parking lot and the bed squeaked every time I moved.

The room met my expectations and the staff was courteous. It was greatly appreciated when I informed that the extra latch was broken. Yet she made an allowance for this. It was first time using a virtual assistance to check in it was ok just different.....

Contact-less check is convenient but when the machine had difficulty processing a simple room key it can be devastating to wait longer after a long day of work..i suggest an in person receptionist for check in is always the best
