A female receptionist was warmly welcoming. She offered to upgrade my queen to king and told me that this place was pet friendly. How did she know that I left my cats home alone? The room was big and clean. I like the laminated floor. Though I could hear the water pipe rattling while neighbor's showering, the rest of the appliances were quiet.

So I have a mix review about this property. First of all the manger at the time was very annoying. We were driving to SLO and he called, emailing us and texting us that we needed to be there at 5 p.m or they would cancel our reservation. I did like how we can take our dogs and you are right next to the Madonna Inn. The room was kind of gross. The wall was dirty, the baseboards were dirty and there was something gross on the walls. I don’t think I’ll come back. You do get what u pay for.

Our train was delayed 2 hr., the staff called me twice & sent a text giving me instructions how to pick up our key at such a late hour. There was no hassle, it was so nice to get in & get some sleep.
