  : Very nice breakfast with a variety of options (oatmeal, eggs, potatoes, sausage, yogurt, fruit, waffles, & different breads). It was nice to see the type of potatoes, eggs, & sausage changed daily. Room was very comfortable and I liked that we had a walk-in shower rather than a shower in a tub. Location was also very nice in that it was right near the freeway, which made getting places really easy. The staff were in general very nice and tried to help where they could.
  : As others have noted, it is disappointing to have to pay separately for parking. I could care less if the room price were bumped up by $12/night but it bothers me to see it separate on the bill. Though they are in the middle of a remodel, that wasn't much of an issue, though it may have contributed to the uncomfortably warm room temp in the breakfast area. The separate charge for parking, remodel, & warm breakfast room are the reason for the 8 vs 10 on my rating.

  : Undergoing major renovations and was not notified. Had called property several weeks before stay to ensure washer/dryers on site and was confirmed. When got to property they were not able to be used bc of construction. Didn’t get service on our room, they tried at 445 pm after we had just returned from fields all day trying to shower. You have to pay 12$ per day for parking—there was a homeless guy in the underground garage smoking out of a bong. The property was not worth the $. You can get way nicer places for same $

  : Liked the items in the bathroom (lotions, soaps, etc). Shower was nice. Fan wasn't noisy like many bathroom fans, and it worked well. The A/C worked really well and wasn't that noisy. They got me pillows without feathers, as I'm allergic. That was nice. The people were really friendly.
  : Construction, but that is temporary. The fridge in my room had an electronic whine and it was replaced, but the new one did the same when the thermostat was turned to the "cold" end, so we left it in the middle. Breakfast was ok, need more low sugar options. There were sausages one more than were so sweet I couldn't eat them. Perhaps add some plain yogurt without sugar?I gave it 9/10 because of the price.

  : Breakfast was excellent. There was a nice selection of food available.
  : Provide free parking for guests. The lobby was being remodeled so there was a temporary check-in table. The table had room for two clerks but was staffed by only one. It took a half hour to check in.

  : Easy access to freeway. Clean rooms, being renovated.
  : Even though parking was only (!) $12 a night, compared to other hotels, parking used to be free. Most people have cars, and if we’re already paying to stay, why tack on another cost?!?!

  : Extremely comfortable Bed, excellent shower , excellent breakfast !
  : 1-Parking fee never disclosed until the checkout . Too expensive already to charge for parking 2- No restroom downstairs, in the lobby .My husband tried to explain to one of the staff that he was need, because others were using upstairs. Staff person was not so polite and said he could not help. We understand hotel is under renovation, but some flexibility and good will should be offered
