Overall, the hotel looked very nice. It was also nice that our room had a kitchen. I did have to switch rooms when I first checked in because the first room had dirty bed linens. The manager, who was very friendly, was very apologetic and immediately switched my room. I would also mention that the mattress was not very comfortable and you could hear street noise very clearly.

This is a newer hotel that is not being maintained very well. The room was not clean. There were crumbs on the nightstand and the floors had not been mopped. Staff was friendly. I was glad I was only staying one night.

Very clean and modern. No gross carpet anywhere. Tile and luxury vinyl planking only. Quiet. Breakfast was standard....could use some more fruit or fresh items. Staff was very friendly and kind. Parking was easy. Very close to UC. We did not use the pool.
