Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The online photos made it seem that the surrounding area was resort-like; however, it was surrounded by concrete with at least half of the rooms (including ours) facing a parking lot and trash dumpsters. When we checked in we weren't given good instructions on how to find our room and then the keys didn't work. Also, we had an early check out (5:30 a.m.) and we were told that we would have to go to their sister hotel around the corner to check out that early. After I complained they said I could leave the keys in the room. The continental breakfast was very basic and the pastries/bagels were not fresh. The only good thing about the property was the kitchen in our room; it was very up-to-date and fully stocked with plates, utensils, etc.

Everything was fine at the hotel, when we arrived we were offered a bottle of wine, but it wasn't in the room, we had to asked for it. Breakfast was good, but exactly the same every day. I believe the price was to high for what you get.

Very nice California style hotel/motel
Very nice California style (cars parking outside room) hotel. I was greeted warmly & everything was explained fully. My Queen room with patio was very nice, clean, everything you could ask for. The breakfast that was provided was very nice with an "upgraded" continental style, eating on the patio was a +. The small pool was welcome after sightseeing. I would stay again for sure.

They left very few bath towels in our room. The supplies like paper towels and toilet paper were not soft or comfortable to use - they left very few shampoo/ conditioner soaps. Seemed sparse for what we were paying . Otherwise it was a good stay. Friendly and good parking . A bit father of a walk then I expected to state street but still walkable .
