"We have stayed here twice now. We stay here when we go to a concert at the Orion Amphitheater. We park at the hotel and walk. It’s less than a mile and the roads are well maintained. The hotel is nice. I love the kitchen space. Bed is springy but it’s tolerable for a night. That’s the only ding I would give. The combination of the low cost of the room, nice location, well trained staff, and well maintained rooms makes this place a 5 start stay for me!"

"We got a room for 2 nights while visiting local family for an event. We saw the lobby, our room, and the breakfast area. All of those areas were clean. One of two elevators was out of order but that didn't affect us. Pool looked nice, but we didn't have time to use it. Breakfast was a typical hot hotel breakfast, but it was good and filling. Sausage patties, cheese omelette, biscuits, gravy, waffle, 2 cold cereals, oatmeal, grits, bagels, muffins, yogurt, fruit, oj and apple juice, tea, and coffee. My only complaint was not having a bath tub (it had a large shower), but that's my fault for not requesting it."
