The breakfast was a nice and tasty variety that included crispy bacon or turkey sausage. I took my breakfast up to my room and was offered a tray to help me carry it! I enjoyed everything about my stay including the room, staff, location and attractive lobby. I would definitely stay there again.

The entrance of the property was pretty clean, the area where they serve breakfast. The following morning was nice. I need as well. Employees in the dining room area were very kind. I did not like the customer service they treat you like you’re bothering them like they don’t really want to be working there; the part of my stay that made it even worse I my stay was the room carpet being super dirty it was just disgusting some areas look like it was dog poop. The We asked for a housekeeping assistance and they never got there. The following day our room did not get clean, at the time they wanted to come in we were getting ready for the event that we were there for. I am really not a picky customer but I honestly have stayed at your other locations and this has been the worst experience.

Hotel is located in a great area. Just right off the freeway, close to shopping and dining areas. Room was nice, clean and comfortable. Staff nice and polite. Free parking and breakfast was great. Will definitely stay there again when we're in town.

The TV in our room did not work. Because it was very late when we got in, we did not notify the front desk. When I reported it the next morning, the morning clerk was rude and snippy. I wasn't asking for anything....just informing. The clerk on duty when we arrived was terrific. We had 3 rooms and overall enjoyed our stay. Sadly, the snippy clerk cast a dark cloud over what was a good stay.

Clean updated room. Soap smelled great. Comfortable beds with firm and soft labels on the pillows!! Great breakfast in the morning. It was a packed house as it seems there were people there for some sort of cheer competition and concert goers, like myself, for a show at the dignity health area, but it was still quiet. Parking lot was very well lit around the entire property. It took us only 15 minutes to get to the dignity sports arena. All staff was very friendly as well. I definitely would stay here again.

The staff was ready and responsive to assist with my check-in. The credit card reader was causing a delay so we moved to a different device and everything went smoothly. Very friendly and courteous staff. The lobby and elevators were clean and tidy. Only complaint was the stained bed linens and pillow cases. Also, material from the bottom of the bed mattress was coming out. Since my room had two beds, I used the other. A slight minor convenience but I would return.

When I checked in the Lady at the front desk was not friendly. She didn’t tell me what time breakfast was or anything. I asked her name she said V only to find out her name was Vanessa I observed her with another guest .. she asked them how was there day going .. very polite to them but not me . I needed a bath tub stopper she was suppose to call me back and did not . I called front desk … she hung up on me and then didn’t answer and finally she answered . Maintenance brought me towels as requested but never the tub stopper . Finally after hearing nothing from front desk … I called and said I will stop up the tub with a rag .. V said ok .. instead of saying let me check with maintenance and see if he found one . Very nonchalant and unprofessional… I stay here every 2 weeks.. I never had a problem. Keshia at the front desk is always pleasant . V or Vanessa needs more training.. especially giving me a Nickname her own Co Workers didn’t know who V was .. terrible stay
