"Stayed here for a business trip. Thought I found a really good deal when compared to other hotels in the area. The day before my stay I received a message about the difference in their “deluxe rooms” and their Trellis Court, aka “economy rooms”. Honestly the room was fine, even had a nice private patio which I wasn’t expecting. Just thought it was interesting that they sent the info on the room differences right before checking in. Everyone gets a cookie, cider/coffee/tea. Trellis is a noisier location (closer to road and freeway), but if you’re just there to sleep, it’s totally fine. Pool and hot tub are on the smaller size, pictures are a little misleading, but that’s not uncommon! Location works to walk into downtown too, about 15 minutes."
