Stayed for a holiday weekend and had a great time. Check in was super smooth and room was very clean. Hotel is conveniently located near shopping, cafes, and wonderful restaurants. Pro tips to avoid confusion on your trip: Use a credit card for payment (debit card may place a hold), parking is $15/day, sign up through Marriott for free wi-fi, and try the tri tip sandwich on weekends at the shop next door. Hotel is new and welcoming, and I look forward to staying in the future.

The line for the breakfast was very long. When we got there there was no waffles left and very little food. Itā€™s very bad organize. We didnā€™t have chance to get to eat breakfast. The smell of the room had bad ordor. Very unhappy. We paid lots of money to stay here.
