Liked this hotel a lot

Really liked this hotel. Clean, fresh, convenient. The only "negative" is that it's on a hill out back which makes it hard to climb if handicapped.

Recommend this hotel

We were very pleased with the room - king bed and couch. The lighting could have been better but we had lights on both sides of the bed so it worked alright. The staff were all very good. We met a few of them over 4 days and they were all helpful and pleasant. We enjoyed the breakfast selections - everything we wanted. The staff in the breakfast area were great - friendly, keeping items stocked, cleaning - always available. Housekeeping also took care of us when needed. Also, we the location was very good for us and the highway noise did not affect our sleep. The $10/night charge for parking was alright because the overall cost was very good for what we received.

Parking is not included. The description on the booking site, says parking available, which means they can charge you $15 a day for the parking. The front desk person says the owner decided to charge for parking. Really? Breakfast was really good during the stay. the two women that kept this up on the days we were there, did a great job of making everything taste and look good. Well done! Room wasn’t too bad, good size and everything was good and working. It was a little noisy since it’s right by the freeway, but not too bad.
