The property is what it is and ideal for business travelers. I found it to be clean, everything functioned well, I had no issues at all with internet or noise. It’s a 2 star property with 5 star management. Everyone is so nice and accommodating, from management to the domestics. I had to extend my stay a few times and I was accommodated with no issues. The staff is present and that adds security to the location. It was by mistake I booked here, as I tend to stay in more upscale properties, but I truly appreciated the personal consideration that the entire staff demonstrated consistently which made extending an easy decision.

The room I was given did not have a inside bar lock (illegal), there were holes all over the walls with screws poking through, the old floresent tube lighting in the bathroom was flickering non stop, there was only one set of towels for 2 people, the AC unit did not work well, the place was dirty, and smelled musty. I had booked the room for 3 nights because family was in the hospital and I only stayed one night because it was so gross. I was denied a refund for the remaining 2 nights (I even purchased the insurance). This place should not be on Expedia.

For the most part, this location was a decent place to stay. There is a train that goes by occasionally so it can get noisy. Also, there was no latch lock on my bathroom window which had no screen so it could easily be slid open. There was also some kind of live bug on the toilet paper roll with what appeared to be its severed wings not too far from it on the rill as well.

Loved the room, it was big, beautiful, and had everything in it that we needed, a nice table and chairs to eat breakfast or dinner and (the one we had at least) had a microwave and little fridge so we always had cold dronks and snacks on hand, there was also nice desk in the room which was great for getting our business done, it was really quiet which was an added bonus and led to a perfect hotel stay.

The hotel location is the only reason I’d stay again. The bed is adequate. There are no elevators. The breakfast does not look like the images on the website. No waffles or fruit. There was no remote. The one they finally gave me had never been programmed for the TV and we couldn’t get it to work. The room was quit even though it faces El Camino. The lobby is always locked but someone answers the bell.
