The rooms were very clean and quiet all night. The breakfast was good and convenient to not have to leave for breakfast. The hot tub and pool were very inviting and I loved the location of this hotel! 30 minutes outside of San Francisco which was where we hung out. Overall everything including price was perfect for our weekend trip!

This is a great hotel and we always enjoy our stay here. The staff is friendly, professional and very helpful. The hotel is clean and well-maintained, and they do their best to accommodate rooom preferances whenever possible, depending on availability. My husband enjoys using the gym during our visits. The location is convenient and makes it easy to get around the area. Because the hotel is near the highway, there can be some traffic noise, but with earplugs, it was not a problem for us.
