Happy Guests Happy Staff
Pros:

I loved the convenient location. There was easy access to the I-8 and I-5. The whole place was friendly, from the guests to the staff! And everybody greets you, even if they're busy!

Cons:

Well, there was not much I disliked. Parking is tight but that would be ok if people knew to be patient. Somebody dinged my car. However I bought this car to be useful, not for display.

Never staying here again.
Pros:

The photos are extremely misleading. Rooms are run down and dusty and not kept up. My daughter was bit by a spider while there and now has an infection. Had a spider in the shower. Whole hotel needs updated. Charged me an extra 400$ than what my booking said. Tried to reach out to the property about being unhappy and never got a response. Very very disappointing. Absolutely not worth the money.

Cons:

Service, upkeep, cleanliness was terrible. Bed was damp when we first checked in due to how humid it was in the room. Spiders.

Pros:

The room was big. There is parking on site, but you can also park on the street. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a pool and a mini market to buy things if you need. Location close to the Zoo. Recommended.

Cons:

Not enough tables/chairs during breakfast for the number of people that were staying. Not a big problem, but we had to wait for people to leave so that we could sit.

Hotel was ok.
Pros:

Hotel room was spacious and clean. The only downside to this hotel is breakfast time and parking. Breakfast on the 4th floor is carnage! No matter what time you went there were hoardes of people there and no many tables to cater for them. Breakfast is limited and while we were there the hot options consisted of sausages, egg and potatoes one day, bacon egg and potatoes the next and the final day they only had eggs.
