The furniture in the room was very old and worn. Room itself was adequate, bathroom was clean and well stocked with amenities. Was surprised by the $200 security deposit that was not mentioned when booking the room. Parking and ev charging were very convenient.

Was going to Stanford and needed hotel. This was in a sketchy area hence the lower price. Orig room had been smoked in. Was given a new room but keys didn’t work. 3rd time back to the lobby and keys finally worked. This is a very old hotel. Comfy bed and free breakfast. Bathroom REEKED of mildew. Staff very mid upon checkin. Would I stay again? Prob not.

Good breakfast! Clean and maintained! Staff are courteous and polite. Having a frudge and microwave is a plus! Free parking I dont like the lighting, it can be brighter. A bit far from tourist spots but the pros outweights the cons!

First off, big thanks to the awesome Manager that accomodated my very early check in. Room was very, very clean, bed is so soft and comfortable. Love it that you also have a microwave! Breakfast is okay but coffee was great. I wish you have extra toiletries tho and slippers. But overall I enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back

Great stay!

Great stay!Clean rooms amd comfortable beds. There was a bit of wear on lamp shades in the bathroom, the gym was only a bike and elliptical, and there was no water avaliable at breakfast but those were all minor things. Overall it was a lovely stay and the staff were all very nice. Will stay and again and recommend.

On the afternoon of the second day I couldn’t find my key in the 17 zippers of my backpack and purse so I slipped into the waiting area of the hotel. As I sat down my phone rang; it was AI charge inquiry from my bank. The desk clerk began badgering me for my name. I pointed to the phone and held up a finger for him to wait until I completed my call. He began raising his voice to tell me I had to be a registered guest to sit in my chair. I again pointed to my phone.. When I completed my call I gave him my name and sure enough I was a registered guest. I am 60+ lady, well groomed and clean. I am a Commercial Realtor coming from work. This guy needs a different job.
