      Value for money”

      Pro: We had a double room and was very, very spacious, including the bathroom. Great location. Walking distance to restaurant, Fred Meyers, Watson & Starbucks. Tiffany at the reception desk is very friendly and very helpful. Breakfast has variety each day and very good. Con: Our room was not cleaned the first day and we had to bring this to their attention. When cleaned the next day, no toiletries were provided and the towels we requested the night before they cleaned the room were not hanged properly. It was left just stacked up on the towel rack. Other than this, everything was great. Will definitely use them again.
