Very friendly staff. Close to Whole Foods and the zoo. Very walkable. Held my luggage after I checked out so I could still explore. Would stay again for sure.

It was a very comfortable place. The noise did not bother me. There are places to get food close by. Considering the warning of it's limited Service and freeway noise in the email, it's a fairly good place to stay.

Super easy check in! There is a gate, and you must use your keycard to get in past a certain time. I like this sort of security. Room is clean and looks to have a newly renovated bathroom.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
Disliked: Amenities
Room was clean and bed was comfortable. There was a tiny closet, but no hangers to hang your clothes. We had a large table/counter which I appreciated. The room had a view to the freeway. we had to play with the AC to get the temperature just right and the fan from the AC muffled the noise from the freeway. We were able to catch a bus across the street from the hotel that took us to old town for just $2.50 per person. The hotel is in a nice location with shopping and restaurants close by

It is my second time staying here due to hospital stay. It is super convenient. Only thing that bothered me the most is the freeway noise therefore If you’re a light sleeper do not get the freeway noise room. Other than that this is great.

I loved this place for our trip but our AC stopped working and it was during the hottest day! They didn’t switch us rooms but only gave us a fan. Up to that point everything was good.

The front desk was beyond amazing with their recommendations and overall friendliness! The area is so walkable and as a woman who was solo traveling, it was enjoyable. I'm knocking a star away due to the noise - I did pay extra to ensure I wouldn't deal with high volume noise and I still endured it too early in the morning that it was waking me up in the mornings unfortunately. This is a good place to be if you are not planning to stay all day in the room and a good short trip!

It was a great stay for what we needed. We didnt plan to stay in the hotel for most of the trip. We needed a place to sleep and this location was perfect! Close to everything that we wanted to do/visit.
Rooms were a good size just for us 2. Like i said we just needed a place to sleep.
All the front desk were super friendly and helpful!
