Most of the staff was extremely helpful and kind. They brought me food to my room (which they don't usually do) when I couldn't leave because my child was napping. They mailed me important documentation I left behind in the hotel, and went so far as to send the manager to the post-office and mail it first class. Great breakfast, good location.

There was one staff member who was rude and had a basically said no to all our requests. I don't want to paint all of them with the same brush however. Their crib was also really low quality and the air conditioning couldn't quite keep up with the heat outside.

very comfortable bed, excellent shower and plenty of towels and toiletries

odd smell on the 3rd floor corridor where we where staying. our room was at the front of the building and the traffic noise could be heard at night. didn’t bother us to much but some people might like it quieter so would suggest to ask for a room at back of hotel.

Breakfast was great with lots of nice choices; room had ample space; appreciated the Keurig , microwave, refrigerator and safe! bedding and bed very comfortable. Cleanliness was A+. If I were to visit again, would ask for a room not facing El Camino Real. Road noise at certain times was very distracting.

Noted above.

Quiet, comfortable and clean. Room with two beds actually had two beds rather than one with a fold out.

The room was not ready at check in. I was traveling with a mobility impaired elder who needed to rest when we arrived. Also, there was no fresh fruit with the breakfast.

The lady who checked us in was great! Bed was comfy. AC worked well.

Bathtub was really dirty and didn’t drain the water while showering.

Breakfast -- They served a cold bean and cheese buritto for breakfast. I appreciate their serving breakfast, but who eats that for breakfast. We had to go out.

We got a private room with a view of the trees and plants/flowers. The bathroom was really nice especially the two shower heads. My toddler enjoyed running around the big room.

The size of closet was a tiny bit smaller than expected (at least for a group of 4 it might be). Also the keurig machine wasn’t working properly but it wasn’t a big issue for us.
