Great stay.
Pros:

The hotel is newly remodeled with walk-in showers. Air conditioner worked great with the California heat. Staff was very attentive, especially Rocky at the front desk. Had one issue that needed to be brought to their attention and it was dealt with the very same day which was very appreciated. Maintenance is on staff in the evening which surprised me. Wonderful breakfast! One helpful tip for the front desk would be to have a spreadsheet with local restaurant information on who delivers and who doesn't for those who don't have apps like Uber eats. You can add their hours, phone numbers and addresses to this sheet. This is a great way to go the extra mile for your guests ❤️
