Great value. The parking lot was under construction so it took away from the overall appearance but that's temporary. Staff was awesome.

Clean and simple. Recently remodeled. Everything you need for a quick trip to see your Cal Poly Student for a weekend. Parking is tight, but adequate. Pool being redone. Maid service didnt happen.

Nice place to stay for the night. Continental breakfast was less than we expected but for the price of the room we can’t complain. Desk manager was very courteous and helpful.

The hotel charged a substantial "service fee" of per night on top of the rate quoted for the room. When I asked about the charge, they said it was for parking and it was mandatory regardless if i needed parking or not. So the room that was quoted was significantly lower than the rate i paid that included this service fee.

Understanding they are going under construction, their parking is inaccessible, they have a wall right infront of the driveway entrance that blocks going in, and to exit the building you have to go all around the end to make the turn out.

The room itself was nice and clean and comfortable, but there were some things lacking. The ice machine wasn’t working. The shower was making terrible sounds. Outside the pavement was uneven and unsafe to walk around. It was a good price and it served its general purpose. I asked to check out an hour late and the staff told me I would be charged for another day. It fits the budget but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

It was easy to book, the price is right, it has free breakfast, it's very close to CalPoly. It's clean and quiet, it has basic amenities that we need, we don't need fancy stuff. Parking is ample but we need to park further away from our room (which is fine).
