Had a giant room, full kitchen, great bed, so much space I was shocked! The shower was the only complaint and once we didn't get up super early to hit the breakfast bar before they ran out. I didn't have time to wait for more food to come but every other day we woke up early and got plenty of food. Staff was polite and no problems were had. I would leave a note for housekeeping with a tip and all my needs were met.

This hotel is convenient to Interstate 8, but set at the back of a large lot. We had a two bedroom suite on the third floor. Freeway noise was not a problem for us, as our our bedrooms were facing toward a quiet residential hillside area. Suites are large and well appointed, but the small breakfast room off the lobby is inadequate for the number of guests. Food selection for the complimentary breakfast is average. Access to the trendy Hillcrest neighborhood is very easy (ask at the desk for the 'back way'), so it is a five minute drive to quality restaurants. Old Town is also nearby.

I stayed at this hotel this past weekend 1/22/12 and all I can say is I will never stay at this hotel again. The location and price was right but that was about it. The front desk staff at check in was ok but at checkout the next morning was horrible.First no one was at the desk when I was trying to check out so I rang the bell. Several times. Finally some one cam casually walking up from the side of the lobby, He was not very helpful at all. In fact he seemed as if he was irritated that I was even there. He was very unfriendly and combative.My worst customer experience ever. Besides the service, The room furniture was dated. I stayed in a 2 bedroom suite and the main bedroom had no door. I asked the front desk if there were any rooms that were more private and he said that all the rooms were like that. The tv had been replaced with a small lcd flat screen in the common area but the bedrooms still had conventional tvs.The conventional tvs picture was not very clear. Now onto the bathrooms. Water pressure seemed adequate but the water saving shower head was horrible. I could b arely wash off the soap. It took me forever to shower. In fact I had to turn the shower off and use the faucet to wash off. That was how bad the water pressure was. If your ever going to stay in the hotel circle area I say AVOID this hotel at all costs. I would not stay here ever again.

This is our 2nd time back within 1 year and they are now remodeling all the rooms and the room we got was beautiful. No pictures on the wall yet but fresh paint and bed and pull out bed on couch very comfortable. We had a 1 bedroom this time instead of a studio as there was 4 of us. Room 213. The 3rd floor was filled, which is the best as it's quieter. This is a small hotel and this is why it's nice. Free parking and off the busy highway 8. They do only have one person working at desk but don't know why other reviews said they were rude. We met 3 of them and they were all very friendly and helpful. We will always go back here as it's great for the $$ and very spacious and small. No walking down long hall ways. There is no swimming pool but there is a outdoor jacquizzi, did not use it.
