All very well kept and clean. Front desk felt kind of rushed, though. Also, loud, inconsiderate neighbors that we knew no one would do anything about in So Cal.

The room was clean and updated. My wife and daughter both said it was cute so guess that is good. The parking is the best. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Area was quiet and safe. The shower was very nice. There was a refrigerator in the room but not a microwave. Would definitely stay again!
