My husband and I decided to stay at this property for a night since we lost power at home. We chose this based on price, as well as the pool. I will say, the pool itself was not very warm, in fact it was quite cold, but that did not stop us from taking my son swimming. He quite enjoyed himself, even if he was shivering by the end. The rooms were nice and big, very tall ceilings. Bathroom was well stocked with towels, and the shower things (shampoo, body wash, conditioner, lotion, and hand soap) were all full size bottles of Dove, which personally I loved. Beds were comfy, there was plenty of room for my sons pack n play, and we had a nice quiet night as a family. Only thing i would change honestly was the temperature of the pool. Great stay otherwise!

Clean comfortable rooms. Bath tub was extremely slippery and they should install some anti-skip strips or something to make it less prone to slipping. Also, couldn't get hot water from the bathroom sink...lukewarm at best. Only one elevator for that size property seems pretty small. Hard to get to a lower floor with everyone trying to use it at the same time.

Friendly staffs, quick check in, spacious and clean room. Breakfast is excellent and they have to go bag for guests. Clean area. Plenty space in the parking lot. Gas station and business and restaurants within 30 second walking. Quiet and beautiful surrounding. It’s 5 mins to the freeway. Safe area. Quiet central air conditioner. Microwave, refrigerator, k cup coffee machine. I definitely will come back and refers others.

The room was clean, quiet, spacious, modern, and very functional. Excellent pillows, bed was fine. Staff was just ok. the first guy just couldn't really be bothered. Definitely wasn't friendly but also wasn't grumpy. Just a living body working the desk. Lobby is just ok, the layout is weird. Breakfast was excellent. We had fresh bacon, scrambled eggs (real ones), biscuits and gravy, fresh pancakes (a machine automatically makes them) and fresh ground coffee (the coffee machine also freshly grinds your beans) it was really good. The only detriment would be that I needed to fix the toilet as the handle was stuck and would not flush, not a big deal but it will need repaired/replaced by the hotel. This might have been a bigger issue for a different visitor. Also, the pool was somewhat cloudly and had a strong scent of chlorine, the kids decided to pass on swimming.

What I liked: 1. Spacious room, esp. for 1 person 2. The concierge was very friendly and respectful 3. Breakfast was pretty decent and filling 4. Room was pretty quiet What I didn't like: 1.The front parking was limited and awkward 2. The mirror lamp was broken and couldn't turn it on 3. No bathtub nonslip mat in the shower 4. The nightstands for this particular hotel were too far from the bed Overall if was a decent stay aside from some inconveniences

I was so impressed by this city and the hotel. The hotel backed up to a restaurant, which was playing live music (which could be annoying if you wanted to chill early, but I didn't mind it). The music ended around 8:30, and it was a calm night. There was a group of kids staying there for a dance competition, but they weren't disruptive at all. I would definitely stay here again. Check-in was easy, and breakfast was good. The area was safe, and there was plenty of parking.

I was surprised to find the elevator floor quite dirty and coming out of the 3rd floor landing from the elevator, there was a stream of what looked like chocolate milk or shake spilled but dried on the floor. The hallway floor was also quite dirty. The room was clean. The next morning still nothing had been touched, so I mentioned it to the front desk and they seemed unconcerned and said that the housecleaners would clean it up when they get to it. My thought was, If you were home and you spilled something on the floor, would you just leave it for when the wife gets to it or would you clean it up right away? I'd clean it right away! So wouldn't you especially clean it when you have it in a public area where paying guests are having to walk around it? Loved the shower/bath containers instead of those little containers that are such a waste of product. Very eco-friendly.

Very friendly check-in staff! They were offering free tailgating (burgers, hot dogs, chips, drinks, cookies) to guests because there was a Notre Dame game. We had no idea as we r not football fans & were just passing thru on a cross-country road trip. We didn’t eat the tailgating food (didn’t look too fresh), save for the tasty cookies after a meal out elsewhere but it was a nice surprise. Beds extremely comfortable. Other guests a bit loud till midnight but they were football fans & partying—it was fine. Value for $ was low—I think prices were jacked up due to football game. Also understandable.

We stayed three days for a tennis tournament really like the people that work there were very friendly and helpful breakfast was pretty decent not a lot of options but what they had was good. The biggest light down was breakfast was supposed to be served at 7:30 in the morning the last morning we were there they didn’t open the doors to let people into almost 8 o’clock there was a huge amount of people waiting, and then they had an attitude about it.

The hotel is in a nice area with a great pizza restaurant next door! It was pretty clean and the girl at the front desk was very friendly when we checked in. Rooms was nice with good pillows but very firm beds. At breakfast, there were about 25-30 people waiting to get in at 7:30 (when it was supposed to open on Saturday morning), yet the coffee was already empty and there was no staff to be found. A few people tried to ring the bell for service, but no one responded. It ended up opening around 20-25 minutes late and they had 8 biscuits in the warmer, lol. Breakfast was decent for a hotel, with a few hot items, but we were in a hurry by then so we didn’t eat much. Coffee finally got refilled when we were leaving so we made a Starbuck’s trip instead. There was a Keurig in the room with a couple pods if you wanted black coffee. If I stayed in the area again, I wouldn’t be entirely opposed to staying again, but I think I’d try Hampton Inn which is just next door.
