Bargain. Upgrades continue
I have stayed here several times. Each time I return there are upgrades. Very pleasant office staff for check in, clean rooms. I would have graded it higher on comfort, but I have inflammatory arthritis in my back and the sleep was rough. Otherwise, great place for the price.

Hidden Gem
Everything was great except I checked in and my toilet wasn’t working. I told the desk staff and they made a note to fix it ASAP.
I was very impressed by the continental breakfast; it’s much more than that! Plus they have a great coffee machine. I usually wear ear plugs to help me sleep, no matter where I’m at, so the noise of El Camino Real was a non-factor. Good location too!

Great place to stay both the hotel and the city.
The hotel has been remodeled and is very modern. The breakfast has wonderful selections. There is fresh ground coffee, including my favorite latte, fresh orange juice, variety of yogurt, rolls and hot breakfast.
