The location is very convenient and close to everything, which made getting around easy. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. That said, the room was quite small for the price, and the parking was expensive. Overall, it’s a decent option if location matters most, but the value may not be ideal for longer stays or travelers with a lot of luggage.

The room was clean. I had ONE noisy night and after that, silence. Cleaning crew was out every morning, so they are proactive. Front desk personnel were pleasant and helpful. Coffee shop next door and a Whole Foods less that 5 min walking... plus other 'eateries'. I'd use this place again. Only 'issue', I was never able to figure out HOW to use the coffee maker that was in the kitchen on my floor. And neither was the staff member I asked! LOL
Coffee shop next door.
Front entry way with gates open. In the evening the gates are shut, but your room key will open them.
Parking if you have a car.

Upon arrival, we were assigned a room on the seventh floor along with a designated parking spot. When we went to park, the spot was already occupied, so we returned to the front desk to notify them we parked elsewhere, which did not seem to concern the staff. When we reached our room, the door was wide open and it was clear the room had not been cleaned. Towels were hanging on the bathroom door and left on the floor, indicating a previous guest had checked out without housekeeping servicing the room. We went back downstairs to report this, and the front desk staff appeared largely unbothered. They reassigned us to a new room, but when we attempted to enter, the key did not work, requiring another trip back to the front desk. After the keys were finally corrected, we were able to access the new room, which was acceptable. However, we noticed later that the original room we had been assigned remained open and uncleaned, with the same towels still present. This gave the impression that cleanliness and guest comfort were not a priority for the staff, which made us feel very uncomfortable during our stay.

Rooms are really small, but provide most amenities. You have to ask for cleaning service and new towels. They charge for parking but you can find free parking on the streets. Decent place for price.

Room is very compact but enough room. Kitchen on 6th floor has microwave to warm food. Freeway noise isn’t too bad if the window is closed.
