8/10 Very good

Pros: convenient location, lots of places to eat nearby, right off I-5, comfy beds, lots of free parking and friendly staff, lots of hot water. Cons: the water pressure in the shower is the worse, you're practically standing up against the wall to get dribbles of water, AC tends to knock on and off throughout the night making the room temperature inconsistent.
