The hotel was clean and quiet, thete were only a few guests at the property as Cal Poly wasn't in session yet. The one draw back is there isn't any local channels on the tv menu. Nice staff!!

Nice, clean room
Nice room, comfortable beds. Can take a lot of time for elevators in morning and around checkout time. Also, ask for room not directly across from elevators as you can hear the whirring of the cables at all hours.

The air conditioning is not really working. We would like to change the room but they told us that they are sold out. Actually they are not. I saw a lot of empty parking spots. There are only about 4 cars in the parking lot. There are some insects in the room and a bit noisy. We also lost some items when we left our luggage in the room while traveling. When we got back, our luggage was open and we lost some items. We talked to the front desk but nothing happen. It was a bad experience for me and my group.

Night manager is a racist feud racial slur
My husband and I will never stay here again! Management named Joe is very rude unprofessional and is a RACIST he cussed at my husband and I and used racial slur towards us. The local police department was called due to the hotel manager loosing his temper. ( I video taped him yelling racist remarks towards us) I'm very disappointed and upset I could not believe the pure HATE coming out of the managers mouth.

Good rooms mediocre amenities
The room was spacious and clean. Amenities listed breakfast and pool/hot tub. The breakfast is packaged pastries, the hot tub had 2 inches of water in it and the pool had the shade umbrellas in it. So rooms were fine but amenities were mediocre.
