Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Multiple reviews cite cleanliness problems (dirty jacuzzi/jetted tub with hair and standing water, stained pull-out sofa, soggy food on pool deck, general not-as-clean-as-expected). Overall cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
9.8
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, consistent, helpful and pleasant; front-desk responsive though one issue with an app check-in was reported. Service is a strong positive across reviews.
Location
9.8
Location praised frequently: convenient to the interstate/freeway, lots of parking, quiet/cozy area, and a good Vietnamese cafe across the street. Location is a clear strength.
Room Quality
6
Mixed to negative comments on rooms: spacious rooms noted positively, but issues include broken shower, too-warm rooms at night, overly soft pillows, worn mattresses with springs felt, stained pull-out and unusable thin pull-out mattress, and dirty jacuzzi tubs.
Amenities
6.5
Amenities have problems: jacuzzi/jetted tub cleanliness issues, pool deck hygiene and missing/ rusted support areas, towel shortages at the pool, and only one elevator working. Some amenities (breakfast, parking) are good, but facility/maintenance issues hurt this score.
Value for Money
8.5
A few guests noted the price was a little steep, but many praised the location, parking, room size and good breakfast — overall the property still represents reasonable value for many travelers despite occasional maintenance/cleanliness drawbacks.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast is repeatedly described as good, hot and fresh. Nearby dining (Vietnamese cafe) also noted as a plus. F&B is a consistent positive in the reviews.
Overall Experience
9.7
Most guests report a positive stay (would recommend/return), highlighting staff, location, parking and breakfast; however significant cleanliness and some room/amenity maintenance issues temper the experience for some. Overall impression remains strongly positive.

Breakfast was good. Everything else so so.
Pros:

Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Our shower did not work in our room, the pull out sofa was stained on top/botrom of cushions and the back rest, the mattress of the pull-out was so thin you couldn't even sleep on it. Mattress on bed was worn and could feel springs through it.

We also had a large jetted tub in our room that haf hair and standing water in tge bottom of it.

Pool deck had soggy food on it, bottom 4-6inches of support columns were missing/and or rusted and was out of towels with no refill when requested.

Also had an error that happened at check-in with this app that front desk suggested to use and then would not correct it.
