"The motel seemed overpriced, but it was clean and convenient to Stanford. The room door didn't close all the way, and the bathroom door stuck. The sink drained slowly, and the water pressure in the shower was poor.2018-11-16"

"Great location. I didn't like the lack of privacy in the bathroom since there was a curtain instead of a door. I could hear conversations from neighboring rooms and dance music from a late-night club. The free afternoon wine was nice, and the complimentary breakfast exceeded my expectations. Bring ear plugs to this hotel.2017-08-12"
