solid stay

room service breakfast option parking space friendly hosts

The new shower head holder was a GREAT touch. I found that the staff replaced it without me even mentioning the broken one. The breakfast included several options. I enjoyed the view from the dining area. Plenty of parking was available onsite.

The Wi-Fi signal was sometimes weak. I hope it is fixed soon!

The room was clean. I found complimentary toiletries ready for use. The staff replaced a shower head holder without me even reporting it (a pleasant surprise!). The location provides easy access for touring the west coast. (I enjoyed that very much!).
