Overall fine. But the rate/value was much higher than the level of hotel.
Pros:

Clean and reception staff was kind and helpfull

Cons:

1. Price/rate was too high for this type of hotel. This is not even a 4star. 2. Breakfast, eggs looked like they came out of box mix, pancakes were not cooked well from automatic machine.

Perfect place to stay in SB.
Pros:

I have stayed here many times over the last 20 years. The location is perfect, the rooms are comfortable with ample counter space and good lighting in the bathroom, comfortable beds and a nice tiled floor shower so you don't slip. The staff is always very nice.

Cons:

The breakfast could be improved a bit by some fresh fruit.

Pros:

Curb appeal wasn’t bad. Nice that they offer breakfast. Bed was pretty comfortable

Cons:

A/c units are very noisy. Room is just average. There was a musty smell. Couldn’t open our blinds for light because it looked out to the parking lot
