Everything one needs is there, placed where needed, and it works. My room faced the parking lot but was quiet nevertheless. The continental breakfast is very basic. The manager was very friendly and accommodating.

Fair price and quality. Room was clean and comfortable for our family of 4. Staff was helpful and the small "to go" breakfast was quality items (Jimmy Dean Breakfast sandwhiches, fresh bananas, danishes, coffee, juice and water). Super close to Cal Poly (only .8 miles) which was convenient as we were visiting our daughter their. The room seemed recently updated and worked well for our family. Would stay here again for a weekend stay.

I was in the area for one night, visiting CalPoly with my son. The hotel was clean and welcoming, conveniently located from the university (short walk down the street). Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall a good experience, just what we needed for such a short visit

You pay for what you get. It was a lot cheaper than a chain hotel. All we were doing was laying our head down for the night, so therefore it was fine. The 3 issues I had with the room :1) the floor was not clean( my socks were dark). 2) the toilet would run in the middle of the night for some reason. 3) the bed was just OK. Like I said, you pay for what you get ! We didn’t pay much for the room…
