"We had a wonderful stay! The dinner last night and the breakfast this morning have been first rate. It is so nice to have the food delivered to our room. The bed is very comfortable too. I appreciate the small touches you provide such as the robes and cloth napkins for meals as well as toothbrushes and razors, etc. for use as needed. We love the train sounds and were not at all bothered by the freeway. Thank you. We would absolutely stay here again."

"Great location, in downtown. Looks like it was renovated in last 10 years or so, pretty modern room. Helpful staff, and decent breakfast, usual free breakfast, good enough. Air conditioning is loud, could not hear the TV when AC was on. This is probably your best choice if you want to walk to the downtown area. Also, plus, there is a 24hr donut place close to the hotel. They need some quality control on cleaning, the bed cover was dirty, but otherwise everything else was clean. I would stay again, and price was not bad, but not many other good choices in downtown area."
