My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were super clean, cozy, large, and comfortable, equipped with a fridge and coffee/tea amenities. The only downside was that there were bugs around. The service was excellent; the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The location worked out perfectly for me, being close to Menlo College for a luau event. The dining options were minimal, but I managed. Overall, great value for money and a pleasant stay.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The room was updated, very clean, and a good size, but the low mirror made it hard to use. The service was excellent, with accommodating staff who were very courteous and friendly. The location was perfect for my needs, offering a peaceful atmosphere and close proximity to the places I wanted to visit. The dining options were diverse and enjoyable, especially the Italian grilled meat. Overall, a great value for money with only a few minor drawbacks.
