6/10 Good

Check-in was nice and helpful. However the computer was slow and seemed confusing. Took about 15-20 minutes to check us in. The room was big and bright. Bathroom door would not close. Bed was too tall.
Jim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a wonderful place to stay. Quiet, clean and very nice people. Rates were good. Definitely the place to stay if you want to hop right back onto I 40. Gas and food all right there.

John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very clean and staff was very nice. I was a little concerned about the gate to park since we were there for the balloon festival and would be coming and going at odd hours. However, we never had any problems and it made me feel secure. I would stay there again.
keith, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is clean, well maintained, and very close to the ocean. There are many dining options within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was great on check in. Little weird doing the laundry having to get the key and return it after every time you go thru the door. But laundry worked great, needed the extra steps i guess.

Alfonso, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The facilities and breakfast are very good! The hygiene is average, dead cockroaches and spider webs in the corridor...
hailong, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I really appreciate the secure parking lot. Good house keeping to, except no tissues for the dispenser. Very friendly staff. I left before the grab and go breakfast so can't comment. It looks like a lot has been refreshed recently and so far it's still looking fresh. I'll never understand why the caulking in these bathrooms is so bad.
Greg, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was clean, but smelled musty. TV needs internet services. Gates should require a code, or what’s the purpose?
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Property perfect location and view of the mountains.
