Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed but leaning negative: several guests praised 'very clean' rooms, while multiple reports describe poor housekeeping (dust, dirt in corners), insects (ants, silverfish), unclean bathroom surfaces and a generally unmaintained appearance.
Service
9
Generally strong: many reviewers call staff friendly, helpful and accommodating; isolated incident of a rude front-desk employee noted but majority sentiment is positive.
Location
9
Consistently praised: excellent river views, convenient spot near the freeway and next to a Safeway/Starbucks — repeatedly called a great/location when traveling through the area.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed: rooms are often described as spacious with comfortable bedding and good showers, but issues include old/deep-welled mattresses, loud A/C units, leaking shower doors and occasional maintenance/door security concerns.
Amenities
7.5
Mixed amenities: positives include breakfast offerings, washer/dryer availability and a heated pool, but the pool was reported as filthy by one guest and there were occasional issues (e.g., TVs not working).
Value for Money
7
Slightly below target: some guests felt rates were high for the condition (one noted an unexpected $25 charge at check-in), others found the location and included breakfast reasonable for the price.
Food and Beverage
9
Frequently praised: breakfast received multiple positive mentions (good assortment, standard hot items, gluten-free options available) and was a consistent guest highlight.
Overall Experience
8.5
Overall positive stay with notable strengths (location, friendly staff, breakfast, views) tempered by cleanliness and some room/maintenance issues; aligns with generally favorable guest sentiment.

Stuited our purposes
Pros:

Great location & friendly staff.
There's a Safeway next door.
Being on the river was nice.
Looking at the floor plan, we were put in one of the largest rooms.

Cons:

The mattress needs replacing. It had very deep wells.
Also, the A/C unit in our room was LOUD. We mentioned this to the desk staff and they said they would take care of it.
