Passing through the area
Decent location away from the busy downtown but still close enough to enjoy it. Grocery store , pizza, sushi within walking distance. Staff was very friendly and the bed but comfy (sheets were so soft). Course to Highway 1, East l easy access to freeway.

Overall, ok. Bed and room were comfortable and clean. Front desk staff were very pleasant and kind. The value for price paid was lacking (to be fair, I think it was just our particular weekend that had inflated rates, as they were normally far lower). During a 4 night stay, room service only tossed in some extra towels and toilet paper once (and we had to go ask for more before they came) The room was never cleaned during our stay, though they advertised housekeeping would come every other day.
