An honest review- room was very clean. Check in and out was easy. There are a few restaurants within walking distance. Nice bed (soft mattress) and pillows. Quite a bit of traffic noise all night long, something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper, but overall a very nice stay

Maryanne

Very clean. Lots of amenities (gives Airbnb vibes, we stayed in the King Suite.) note: The sofa is a futon style, and does fold down, however, extremely uncomfortable. Great service, Chantelle took excellent care of us. She made us the best coffee while checking out. Downside: no luggage table, no shower caps, no robes, and very dim lighting (these were minor hiccups, we still had a comfortable stay.) Parking is limited (and free), however, we were still able to park our vehicle on-site, the walls are rather thin and we could hear the occupants TV into the morning hours. This hotel isn't in the most upscale part of town, however, great access to the freeway and walking distance to downtown, and not too far from Old Town. We would stay probably stay here again (if we were to return to the area), if they are able to maintain the same level of cleanliness and service.
