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.

Only thing we need to be fixed would probably be like the entryway. I feel like it's too small but other than that very nice and comfortable

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.
