This was one of my favourite hotels I have ever stayed at. Beautiful room, nice amenities and the pool is a nice touch. The location is 10/10.The courtyard area was stunning. My only suggestion is that the lady at reception could be a bit friendlier upon check-in and check-out.

stayed here from august 31-september 4 2026. Everything was great but whenever somebody slams the door i can hear it from the inside and whenever there’s some sort of banging on the other room or outside, it can be heard from inside the room aswell. however, the walls weren’t super thin that you can hear conversations or the tv from the other room. everything was great tho. Good and safe location perfect for a solo traveler. the place was clean and the little garden setup near the lobby was cute.

Decent place to stay. Picked it for location since it’s literally across the street from the Farmers Market and the Grove! Super helpful staying with 2 teenage girls who could safely walk over to shop or eat when they wanted! Good location. We felt safe. Would recommend. Rooms not glamorous or huge but comfortable and well maintained. Looked like old school motel they renovated. Good happy hour and amenities.
