We had an amazing stay. I would totally recommend this place. From free breakfast to location (a bunch of restos and Raley's were walking distance), it was just perfect. Clean rooms and complete with toiletries. Wifi was a little slow, but that's no biggie.

We were in the area for an event and the hotel was in a very convenient location. The property is an older, modest hotel but the rooms are updated and our room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was the friendliest, most welcoming hotel staff ever! We were pleased overall with our stay and would stay here again.
