Hotel service was excellent! Interior cleanliness was very good, but parking areas on the exterior were full of trash and take out bags from nearby in-n-out burger. Room was comfortable and spacious. A great stay, I'd recommend and would stay again.

Excellent customer service provided by front office manager upon check in! I believe his name was Santiago. Very helpful and super polite.
Rooms were clean and location was perfect. Lots of restaurant options in the area. In n out is also next door, perfect for a late night snack!

The hotel was lovely. Staff were amazing. Super clean, great shower, nice outdoor spaces. Unfortunately, it shares a parking lot with a very busy In-n-Out drive through. I love In-n-Out, but the line was blocking all of the handicapped parking spaces for the hotel, which I needed, and people in line were...well, donkeys, for sake of censorship.

The lady who worked at the front desk on Sunday night was absolutely amazing. She has two daughters who play softball and she shared some wonderful stories and also was very accommodating to our baseball teams. I wish I remembered her name but it was Sunday night May 25
