Pros:

Staff are always friendly helpful and welcoming. Hotel is spacious,.clean and very comfortable with plenty of parking and easy access to highway 101, supermarkets and places to eat.

Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, bed was comfortable, shower was good. The fridge is always useful and it had everything we needed. We even had a small patio at the front which was nice.

Cons:

To be honest, the rooms do need a makeover. I have stayed here many times and they are looking tired and dated. The lighting doesn't help as it's dim and takes a while turning on all the lamps just so you can see. So perhaps brighter bulbs would help along with lighter colored paintwork and carpets.

The breakfast is very basic with somewhat unhealthy options that are more what you'd expect at a budget Days Inn type chain. This is a shame as the breakfast area is light and airy and pleasant to be in.

Good option for one night stay!
Pros:

Room is big and clean. Bed is comfortable. The area is quiet. Wall is not paper thin which is really good. Staffs are very friendly. Breakfast is standard which is fine to us. Overall, we liked the stay.

Cons:

Pillows are not comfortable. I had to wake up a couple times because of that.

This is a terrific hotel! Although it's a little expensive, you get every amenity you could ask for.
Pros:

The breakfast was as good as any I've ever had in a hotel. I'd make an omelet with some veggies if I were making a big breakfast at home (which I often do on Saturdays), but this was a fine breakfast for a hotel.

Cons:

One small point; there was no night light. I don't really need this, but my husband wants to have a small night light when he gets up in the middle of the night... and there wasn't one. So we left the entryway light on the whole time at night. This is a waste of electricity in my mind, and a small, inexpensive night light might have been plugged in on he entry room switch. That would serve the bathroom as well.
