should've been cheaper for the quality.

The breakfast was nice: waffles, eggs, sausage, potatoes, cereal, bagels, muffins, fruit, oatmeal, juice etc. Didn't love that we had to pay $20/day (but I supposed typical for CA), or that when we got home at 11pm one night, we had to park across the street because their lot was full. We were there 3 nights and the maids never came. So on day 3 I called and asked someone to please come take our garbages out, all of which were overflowing, and I asked for more toilet paper since we were nearly out. The pool was cold and the hottub was broken, so that was a disappointment for our kids. the treadmill was also broken. but we loved using their peloton bike (works if you have a peloton account).

Manager William did a terrible job at customer service. There was confusion between expedia and this hotel about my reservation. I paid for 3 nights and they showed only 2. I had to call expedia twice to remedy the situation which should have been the hotels job. Then your front desk staff hang up on expedia and then leave us on hold 40 minutes. I had to walk to front desk and ask William to pick up the phone while another employee was just standing there. I was given the wrong room. And then still checked out after 2 nights. My husband showed up 3rd day and asked for a new key to room. No one asked for his nsme or id. Good he wasn't there to kill me as no security check done. Just handed him a room key. No one apologized for any of this inconvenience. I will never stay at this terrible place again

Very nice and clean. Parking fee is a ripoff.

A very clean and comfortable place surrounded by other nice hotels. The room itself was big, clean and nice. The included breakfast was very good. Just be mindful, they charge $20 extra for parking that is not so evident when booking through Hotels.com, especially since the Hotels.com website said all taxes and fees are included. Hence I gave this a 4 star rating instead of a 5 star.
