They offered a basic room that was comfortable and generally clean, although they didn't seem to bother sweeping under the beds. I was quite happy and comfortable with the first two days of my stay. I would have given a higher rating, but on the third and last day of my stay, the cleaning staff straightened up and brought brought bed bugs with them, which bit me that night. I let the staff know and they were sympathetic, but made no effort to compensate me in any way for the issue.

Drive up to the room, motel style. Renovated room with lots of light, enough electric outlets, working HVAC, shutters, and a nice shower. However, no desk. I've never been in a hotel room with no desk. There was plenty of space for one. Also, the toilet flush was inadequate. Check-in was unattended and fascinating. Would have been helpful, though, to be warned about the check-in procedure ahead of time.

The front desk is unsupervised. You need to use a weird machine to check in via a zoom and the Indian guy who handled my remote check in had a strong Indian accent. It is honestly a bit hard to communicate. The lobby is not 24-hour and you need to call a number if you want to check in late or check out early. This is honestly the strangest check in process I have ever had, though it somehow makes sense given it is in the valley. The room was clean and capacious for the price. Though the amenities in the washroom are a bit worn-out. The toilet even is a bit wobbly. Many big tech companies are within 15 minutes of drive. There are some parking spots, including EV spots. The grilled chicken restaurant next door is pretty good.

They give full size beds and say queen online. No table for setting to eat. Bed table was broke and looked old and badly damaged. Shower had water coming up from under the bathroom floor. No counter space to put anything. Tv didn't work. They give a iron but no iron board. Would never stay here again.

It was such a beautiful and heartwarming experience — from the welcoming atmosphere to the kindness of the employees. The place was spotless, truly one of the cleanest stays I’ve ever experienced. Out of all my years of traveling, this has been the most comfortable stay of my life. The bed was unbelievably cozy — the blankets, sheets, and pillows felt absolutely heavenly. The room was thoughtfully set up with everything you could need — coffee, water, a microwave, refrigerator, and a flat-screen TV. The layout was so well-designed that it felt more like being at home or in a cozy apartment than in a hotel. The shower was refreshing, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and even the lighting added to the warm, peaceful vibe. Everything was super clean, smelled amazing, and created a sense of calm. What made it even better was how convenient the location was just off the freeway, close to restaurants, and walking distance to nearby stores. I honestly didn’t expect it to be this clean, comfortable, and well-prepared. It was truly a beautiful stay in every way.
