10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was an excellent value. I spent a week in California staying at several, more expensive hotels in different areas, and this one had the best beds and pillows by far. The room was clean, though you shouldn’t expect a fancy view. Every staff member we encountered greeted us warmly. The fitness room was clean and fully functional, and the breakfast was surprisingly good—especially the egg‑white omelets. I would definitely stay again."
