Good

The hotel room was great – very comfortable and clean. The staff was welcoming and friendly
Marlene, 1-night trip

Stay somewhere else.

There is a person on a computer screen who checks you in, even though there is a live human being sitting behind a desk. It is ridiculous and the practice is revolting. The room was overpriced and dirty. Do not recommend unless you have no other option, I should have just slept in the car.

Family reunion trip

Get ready for remote access. No human face to face contact. Had issue with the bathroom and they were able to give me a different room. Beds were comfortable.Had to stay an extra night and they gave us our extension with no problems.

8/10 Very good

Decent stay, but Definitely Not Worth the price

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The automatic kiosk check-in was pretty cool and convenient, which made the arrival process smooth. The room itself was small but clean, so no complaints there. However, the bath towels were ridiculously tiny—you couldn’t even properly dry off, let alone wrap one around yourself. On top of that, the sink’s water pressure was way too strong, causing water to splash everywhere every time I used it. Another downside was the presence of homeless people around the hotel, which made the area feel less safe and welcoming. Overall, the stay was okay, but definitely not worth $100 per night.
Sumedh, 2-night trip

Quick overnight.

Just needed the room for a night. We checked in right before bedtime. The room was clean, comfortable. Got up showered and left. It's just what we needed. The pool was covered and seemingly not available for guest use. Didn't matter to us. But if anyone's thinking about going there and using the pool I would call ahead first.

Less than 5 minutes from CPH

Exactly what I paid for, a nice bed to sleep on and a hot shower at the end of the day. I came to help my daughter move out of her dorm and it was a perfect stay. Thanks M6!
Jason, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nicely updated. Great staff. But heater didnt work. And only sheet and super thin cover which typically goes on top of comforter was on both beds. Staff would have probablybrong some but we were beat tired to even call in the middle of the night after long day of hiking.
Vilma, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The onsite staff were very nice and helpful. Checking in with the offsite screen was odd, but easy enough. Rooms were clean and updated. Location was fine with minimal homeless around. Location was good, close to highway, gas and grocery stores.
Mary, 1-night trip

Very clean well maintained property and friendly staff.
Andrew, 1-night trip

“Nicely remodeled rooms and a great value—definitely one of the best deals in town! The virtual check-in process was fast and convenient, with room keys dispensed automatically. However, it was a bit confusing since there was also someone behind the front desk, yet no human interaction took place

Hike it up, mister

Flew in for our son’s graduation to realize all the prices increased. 550. for 2 days for a very SMALL room. Couldn’t fit through to get to the bathroom. Sticky stuff on the hangers, non foam mattresses.

Odd stay

Strange kiosk with overseas individual on a large screen assisted with check in as an actual person was behind the counter doing nothing. One crinkly miniscule towel for two people was supplied. No in room coffee. Exhaust from large truck poured into the room as people park backwards.Such a strange experience but for $60 what do you expect?

Not great

We hated this hotel. The check in was odd. It had a kiosk with a zoom call to India. But beyond that it made me feel unsafe. When we tried to get into our room, which was tricky, there were some other guests screaming and barefoot. I realized that there was no one who we could complain to! It is just me and my son and we felt unsafe (which I realize is different from being unsafe). The hotel is on the freeway and it was noisy. Both the bed and towels had hairs on them. They shower was an overhead rain shower but on the outer edge of the curtain so it didn't spray well and got water all over the bathroom. While this wasntthe worst stay I have had, it wasn’t great and we got out as soon as we could.
