Overall Score5.0/ 5
Has been a decade or so since being in California, I stayed here at the suggestion of my brother in law and he chose well. All was well appointed and the lobby staff equal the best anywhere. The room was large, the suggestions concerning saving water was welcomed. I am a thorough packer and did not need any of the supplied toiletries. There was an ironing board and iron supplied. There was a fancy single cup coffee machine and several kinds of coffee and tea of many kinds. With a traveling guest we breakfasted at the pool side restaurant.

"I wish I knew about you guys sooner, I've enjoyed being able to come home and go to the computer and see lots of hotels asking me to stay with them. (almost like that commercial, when the banks fight over getting your business) Will recommend to others and can't wait to use the service again myself." P.C. - Philadelphia, PA
