Amazing ROI - while the property is slightly dated, and breakfast is simple coffee and bakery - you get a clean room, with very nice firm bed. You are out all day, just need to spend a night - why pay more?
Bunch of nice restaurants across the street as an added bonus.

Good safe place to stay.
We went to a concert and needed a place to stay for one night. It was ok, not bad. It was a dated but it worked for us.

Breakfast
The "to go" breakfast was not my cup of tea. I would recommend adding yogurt or something with protein in it.

Poor service
It was almost 100 degrees in the room when we checked in. Got ready for dinner while sweating waiting for the room to cool down. Light above the sink was so dim my wife couldn’t even put her makeup on. Our frig stunk like unions. Foul smell. Middle of the night we had AC on but then all of a sudden at 2am the AC starting making loud sounds and stopped cooling and smelled like burned wires so we unplugged and opened the windows. When checking out I brought this up to the front desk lady and she hardly even recognized my concerns and just said thanks for letting us know.

Staff was great and very accommodating. The room was great and the pool area with Jacuzzi, was just what we needed after a long roadtrip around north California. I can for sure recommend the hotel again.
