Front desk staff could give better directions to rooms. Their casual and cavalier directions - "just over to the left" - had me wandering around three different floors of the hotel trying to find my room.

Spotless room, everything in the room works, wonderful front desk, sweet and efficient housekeeping. Laundry great. Has gym that I use. That could use a cable machine and replacement of some stolen dumbbells. Easy plentiful parking, loading and unloading. Free morning coffee service. Haven’t tried the restaurant or bar yet. Sparkling pool and hot tub, but it’s fall cold weather so haven’t used. Easy access to 101 north or south. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
