Staff courteous. Hotel is cleanly kept with neat rooms with good space. Late evening staffer was very welcoming and helpful. Jose was also very helpful and welcoming over the phone prior to our arrival. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, although took a little while (20+min) to refill empty hot foods trays.

This hotel is spotless, they are cheerfully cleaning the lobby all day. We would leave for a few hours and come back to a clean and orderly room. Jose at the front desk is delightful, helpful & courteous. Always smiling. This is our 4th time staying here and we will be back, of course. The location in north county cannot be beat.
