It was very quiet. The staff was great. The maintenance person was working the whole time to keep the parking lot and the pools clean from falling tree fuzz. Location was perfect. Can’t wait to go back. Next time I’ll take the Amtrak train from Fresno.

Nice conveniently located stay. Right off the freeway. Close walk to the waterfront and access to the river path nextdoor. Hot tub could’ve been hotter and cleaner. Pool was cold but refreshing. Love having a complimentary Breakfast. The options were great, the attendant was present and friendly. Beds were very comfortable, the hide-a-bed is not. Go to Neda’s, the Mexican restaurant, in the parking lot. It is amazing!!

Its hard to rate because the room was good, there was lots of free coffee in the room, a fridge and microwave, comfy bed, decent shower, it was quiet, great lighting in the room, the free breakfast was good, and so was the pool and hot tub area. But the location was very sketchy (though close to downtown and the golden one center) and some of the rooms in the back actually backed up to homeless camps just over the fence and behind some shrubs. I didnt feel safe walking to the room at night and was worried about my car getting broken into. But nothing bad happened and the room is 1/3 the price of many in the area. A great value if youre adventurous. Hard to rate because of this. Id say 6.5 out of 10.

Stayed at this hotel for Aftershock festival and it’s been my favorite to stay at so far. Room was very clean, spacious and beds were comfy. Loved the amenities and the breakfast was delicious. Very easy and quick to walk to discovery park. The gas station is easy to get to and there’s a Mexican restaurant on property. I hope I can book here again for next time.
