I was very impress with what was provided except the complimentary breakfast was suppose to start at 7am; this did not happen either day I was there. The room was very clean and well maintained. There was no musty smell. The days I was there it was quiet at night so I slept well. The location is just off the 101 hyway so easy to get wherever you are going.

Good value for money and beat expectations

The place was very clean, beds comfy and room spacious. The breakfast was very good for the money and plentiful! Oatmeal, waffles, coffee, yogurt, juice. The hotel/motel is situated near a main highway so you could hear traffic/ sirens but we did sleep.
