Good location, ease of check-in and check-out, option for service daily, clean and comfortable room at a good price. Really enjoyed the zen garden to chill in the afternoons.

Accommodated our need for a quiet room after my husband's surgery....in fact he selected the room after we had mentioned the reason for our stay.

The Hotel was nice, very clean. Check in was super easy the clerk was very friendly. The one thing that will keep me from staying there again is the bed...It was just...BAD. So uncomfortable. The mattress was similar to a sofa bed. I would stay again but they need more comfortable beds.

6/10

The inn is nice and a great price and I'd love to stay again except the beds were awful. So hard and uncomfortable and I barely slept because I'd wake up in pain and have to move around to get "comfortable" again only to wake up in pain a few hours later. My mom also slept bad due to the mattress. If they changed out the mattresses to something with a pillowtop we'd love to stay here again.

This place had high reviews, which is why I considered it. It was exactly as the reviews said—clean, quiet, comfortable, and budget-friendly. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a quiet and clean place to stay. I was by myself and it was a great size and space. Also, easy check-in and out.

7-night trip

10/10

We were in town for my child's surgery at Stanford and stayed two nights. This was our first stay here and it was great. Traveling with a child in a wheelchair the room we had was perfect. Parked right outside the door and the room was large and clean. Fridge and microwave plus a nice little table with comfy chairs. We didn't spend time outside but there was a cute sitting area with lights. Staff was nice and everything felt really safe. We would definitely stay here again. It was a great value for the area!

Great personal touches like live flowers in the room, many hookups for all of my electronics, super clean and much more. This is a great find.

This place is what hospitality should be. The room was clean, the amenities were aplenty, the service was excellent, and they even threw in some free sodas and snacks. That made my experience way better than when I stayed at a 5-star hotel.

8/10

The hotel was awesome for the price! It was super clean, modern, but the tile work in the bathroom wasn't the best work by any means (my husband didn't think the tile work was worth mentioning though). The bathroom space was great which is surprising becausethere was no counter space around the sink. The shower water pressure was perfect though. The TV was super large with Netflix, if you want that. Looks like a little old motel turned boutique. We'd definitely stay there again.
