Stayed for the 4th of July cause my sisters house had a lot of people in the house so my husband and I got our own space
Pros:

The area was nice and quiet and I felt safe.

Cons:

The bed was very hard and pillows weren’t soft enough. The ports to plug in my charger was loose and the cords kept falling out. There’s no USB ports so I had to buy a block to plug the charger in. They don’t have much tv options while other hotels have HBO and tons of free movies. I’m 36 weeks pregnant so having a nicer bed would have been nice but obviously each hotel is different.

Pros:

Great stay, location, restaurants across the street, gas stations, friendly staff, great property to walk around, massive breakfast, comfy rooms, clean etc. It was a business and pleasure trip, great location to drive around California and the hotel made it possible.
