Check in was easy and the room was comfortable, the heater/ac worked, bed and pillows were comfy. Walking distance to all the nice restaurants. Only thing was there was quite a lot of noise surrounding the room we got because there was lots of traffic (right by the laundryroom) but even at night you could hear when neighboring rooms were coming in and out and opening closing their doors on the 1sts floor. And the breakfast was basic, no protein (no eggs or sausage) just a waffle machine and some oatmeal and yogurt, there was a nice coffee machine though that did hot chocolate- kind of expected more for the price per night, but overall not bad.

The room was very cool. It had a beach motif that included lighting behind the bed and the blackout curtain. It was clean and very spacious. There's a separate sink area and even a Keurig machine, in addition to the coffee and breakfast stuff in the common area. The staff was all pretty friendly.

Good coffee but donuts only for breakfast. Room size is fine but bedding had stains. Plenty of parking space. Some homeless in the area with encampments but pretty safe to walk around.
