“Needed a place to rehab for a week, this place was great. Quite, comfortable, One thing that's a hidden fee that catches you off-guard,, $15.00 extra to park your car EACH NIGHT. That's an extra $15 added to the price of a room you dont expect. SURPRISE!!!I Convenient.. close by to a grocery store, has a nice buffet breakfest. Great sitting areas to read, Only knocks, NO microwave and the TV channels are a bit funky! NO ABC, local TV limited. No SEC, but strange things like history, Animal channel. Crazy TV set up. Long as the TV is not real important, and it does have mini fridge, just no way to heat up your left overs.. But for a room, it's nice.”

“We stayed 4 nights at instead of one. This says everything. Rooms were big and clean, the breakfastbuffet was absolutely great (esp. for the price) the little fountain was great. Very good service, nice pool and whirlpool (with maybe a but too much chemicals), not loud at all, we slept like babys. Totally recommended!”

“Quite, Surprisingly. Never heard the neighbors and the place was sold out for a conference in SF. Never heard a plane take off/land, until I opened my door to leave and was floored that a plane was taking off. Very close to the airport. Little older furnishing, great price.”

“Although the hotel itself has been around for a very long time and it is "dated", there is a lovely charm to it. The rooms were spotless, completely spotless. And comfy. We will definitely stay here again in the future when we visit.”
