Wonderful place to stay.
Pros:

Was not expecting what was included in this room. There was a full refrigerator, microwave, sink, stove, dishwasher, dishes, pots & pans and eating utensils. For the price, I was expecting a basic room, not one with all the upgrades. Would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

The only thing I don't like is that they charge $15 per night to park. Keep in mind that if you have a handicap placard, you don't have to pay the parking fee.

Good location
Pros:

We stayed for 3 nights and I would say that the location is good. Very close to the downtown area and it’s right on highway 101.

Cons:

They did not clean our room during our stay. The hotel staff said, that the rooms get cleaned every other day but unfortunately they missed cleaning our room and it was late at night when returning to the hotel when we found out. We complained to the front desk about it and they were kind enough to supply us clean towels and trash bags

Prima verblijf
Pros:

Ruime kamer, fijn dat er een keukentje in zat, we hebben lekker een pastaatje gemaakt. Zwembad zag er prima uit. Het ontbijt is zoals een Amerikaans ontbijt is, verwacht er weinig van dat is het prima.

Cons:

De locatie is niet top, alles is op korte afstand te rijden, maar het is heel ongezellig, terwijl deze regio juist zo leuk is. Wij waren er 2 nachtjes en kregen geen schoonmaak. Dat is op zich niet erg, maar dus ook geen nieuwe handdoeken enzo, terwijl er geen douchegordijn was en alles dus zeiknat was geworden.

Nice hotel and comfortable rooms.
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious and had everything we needed, including a full kitchen, dining table, and comfortable sitting area, which made it feel more like a small apartment than a standard hotel room. The bathroom was also large and well laid out.

The location was another big plus, with easy access to the freeway while still being quiet and convenient. We also appreciated the outdoor amenities, especially the fire pits, BBQ grills, and small pool, which provided a nice place to relax after a day of exploring. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, and we would definitely consider staying here again.

Cons:

It is a little remote. It is surrounded by auto dealerships.

Very good but lacked hot tub
Pros:

The rooms were spacious and clean and the breakfast was very good. I didn’t realize they didn’t have a hot tub which was a disappointment as I assumed a hotel with a pool would have hot tub. We didn’t use the pool because the evenings were a bit chilly. Not sure why they didn’t install a hot tub.
