Very nice hotel! Very clean! Comfortable bed. Nice staff. Nice breakfast and breakfast room. Walls are thin so any small noise was heard. Had trouble sleeping because of that and forgot my ear plugs. The guests were very respectful it's just not noise insulated enough for me.

Great hotel in Davis! Booked a room same day for a last minute overnight stay and it was beyond what I expected. Rooms were spotless, spacious, and updated. Staff very friendly! Complimentary breakfast offered good options and area was very clean. Parking was free, shaded, and right in front the building. Lots of quick food options walking distance. Safe location off main streets but without the traffic noise. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a good non-luxury hotel.

Very nice hotel overall. The staff is very nice and my room was great. If someone in management is reading this please get a new water fountain. The best water option is the water cooler in the gym.
