The hotel staff is friendly and attentive, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable, with daily cleaning and king beds. The complimentary breakfast includes waffles, bagels, eggs, yogurt, oatmeal, coffee, tea, and fresh fruits. The gym is okay for basic workouts, and they also have W/D onsite (extra payment). Great for longer stays.

There was a bit of road noise, as I was only three units from the roadway. Condition was good with some wear. Staff was very nice. Internet had good speed but captive authentication portal was a bit dodgy. Breakfast was better than expected. Parking was great, with roadway access a bit unidirectional due to the roadway being divided -- enter from west, exit to east.

We stopped here as a breather between two trips and it worked out to be very convenient. Our room was close to the recreation/laundry room- we used both the treadmill and did laundry, both worked perfectly. Plus we were able to park just a few feet from our door which made repacking the car a breeze. The AC was controllable and not loud. Breakfast was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. We had a good experience here.

This place is fine and a decent value for the price. It is very clean and the staff is friendly so it’s good if you’re just looking for a place sleep. The breakfast is okay but nothing special. It is two stories and has no elevator. My room’s ac system was very dated and did not work well. I asked to have it serviced but no one ever came to work on it.

A good facility located well for an early morning flight out of San Francisco Airport. The bathroom has porous shower curtains that leak if water hits it; perhaps management will want to reconsider this. The desk clerk that took care of us the night we arrived was very attentive and professional.

Terrible WIFI, very inconsistent. Old tvs and remotes, only offering basic cable is just being cheap, and no streaming apps. Come on, it's 2025.So many other hotels in the area offer these as a standard. Not a good choice for business travellers or familes. I won't be back.

A dressed up Camino Real motel. Nice bed, large room. The shower only goes up to warm, not hot. The breakfast was freezer burned stuff heated up. The walls are thin, so hit or miss on your fellow guests - we got hit hard by a next door party from midnight to 5 am the 1st night, the 2nd night was a puking biker, but the third night was perfectly quiet. Toss of the dice.

Very generous breakfasts and a wonderful family atmosphere from the very professional staff (Cora as the always helpful breakfast hostess to Alma as part of the maintenance crew) to the Manager of the Inn who surveyed the premises daily alongside his beautiful son! It was a pleasure to stay with you. With love, Cachy & Dan

The property was OK until it wasn't. They recently enacted a policy of no staff on site from 11pm until 7am. One of the other guests decided on our 2nd morning of stay to start his very large truck at 5am in the morning which was backed into the parking spot right outside our room. So his exhaust and noise funneled right into our place. When we went outside, someone from the cleaning staff had gone to the vehicle but the guest only told him that he was having a smoke and rolled his window up. The staff person told us he would inform the manager. This smoking in his truck went on 3 times over the next hour and a half. No manager showed up and nothing was done about it. We inquired about it at breakfast but the manager still had not shown up at 8:30am. We would like to pursue a refund for our 2nd day.

The parking spaces are small and large suvs sometimes took up two places but we had no problem finding a spot in our Prius. Breakfast was very good with different egg and potato choices every day.
