I want to thank the front desk staff Rayven she was amazing!! We arrived earlier than expected because of an cancelled travel that shifted for earlier than expected. She did everything to make things less stressful and all the staff worked together to ensure the early check in. The room was very nice and clean. Loved the kitchen area equipped which we didn’t use because we were only there for a day attending the Cardi B concert. I will definitely stay here again.

The room was a bit dirty upon arrival but I cleaned it myself because of the holiday and not wanting to cause any problems or issues with staff. Breakfast was horrible but overall the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Positives: The staff was super friendly and helpful. Easy location to find. Plenty of parking. Nice shower pressure. Negatives: The hotel seemed like it had thin walls/floors. I could hear lots of other people…all night long. The bathroom had a slight sewage smell. No creamer packets next to the coffee maker.

Newly updated and spacious. Excellent value

Huge nice and newly updated rooms. In general it was clean but there was food in the frig and a cleaning rag left behind in the restroom. Excellent price and value compared to the hotels around UC. Short Uber to campus.

We didn't stay for breakfast. The lady at the front desk was amazing. The first room she put us in wasn't clean yet so she upgraded us. The room was nice but smelled like old oil.

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.

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.

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.
