There’s nothing to really complain about. The only thing was the patio door was broke and would not slide open.

Pros. large bed

Cons. breakfast options were sad, very noisy throughout the night, smelled like cigarette smoke, and lots of stray cats around the building :( they should be put in an animal shelter to stay warm during the cold winter months

Pros. California in was a refreshing break from the bland uniformity of the corporate chains. It has a personality - and a very sweet on at that. Could ask for more considering the price of my stay.

Pros. For the price you can’t beat it. Great size rooms, good breakfast, excellent location with a delicious Italian restaurant across the way (Firehouse), and very few complaints to be had!

Cons. Would like to have had a dairy creamer for coffee. (Dry creamer doesn’t cut it). Bathrooms could use a fan.

Pros. Right off the freeway. Big parking lot for my truck, good size pool. Friendly staff

Cons. The ac unit was falling apart and so loud! The "deluxe" breakfast was not good at all. Reminded me of gas station food.

Pros. We visited the hotel for only one night but we were very comfortable and enjoyed the facility. The breakfast was very popular and very good. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. The beds were very comfortable. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to try out the swimming pool. Would come back for another stay.

Cons. The tub had an invisible leak and made the carpet outside the bathroom soggy. I reported it and it looks like they were going to fix it right away.
