Very clean and modern. No gross carpet anywhere. Tile and luxury vinyl planking only. Quiet. Breakfast was standard....could use some more fruit or fresh items. Staff was very friendly and kind. Parking was easy. Very close to UC. We did not use the pool.

We didn't stay for breakfast. The lady at the front desk was amazing. The first room she put us in wasn't clean yet so she upgraded us. The room was nice but smelled like old oil.

Staff was really excellent, management was not very good. First hotel that we have ever been to where we needed to request housekeeping when we had booked 5 nights. Pool was also closed for 3 days to due cleaning, 1 day was reasonable but 3 days wasn't acceptable.

Property was properly and well maintained. The only hiccup was the TV in the room was not programmed and after 2 requests to help us with it a front desk employee finally showed us how to get the channels!!
