Had everything we needed for a quick overnight stop. If you’re a light sleeper, noise from other units might be bothersome. Recommend staying on second level so no one is above you. Clean and comfortable and felt safe.

The hotel has a rating of 8.6 out of 10, which is considered excellent, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. It felt old and a bit cheap. I’d give it a 6 out of 10.

Great location. Clean. This isn’t a fancy hotel (gym, cafe, etc), but it checks all the boxes for a nice clean safe place at a reasonable price.

This was our first time here (visits to Stanford Medical). We chose this hotel because it was $100 cheaper than the place we normally stay. It was very basic but suited our needs.

Got there and was told they had 1 room left.it must have been the last room standing. Air conditioner didn't work but the manager came and fixed it. The tv didn't work. And i went to get the extra blanket from the closet and there was bugs. Will not stay here again

The property is relatively cheap, and you get what you pay for. I booked the "inspiration" room, which was supposed to have a whiteboard. Instead, it had something that looked like a blackboard, but with literal black paper - so I did not risk writing on it (and there was no chalk). I also was unable to sit on the desk chair because it was broken - not sure why they keep it in the room.
