The hotel room felt almost like a small apartment with its separate bedroom, lounge room, kitchen, and ensuite making it incredibly large and very comfortable. The location near the West Fred Meyers and SafeWay offered convenient access to stores and dining options, and the complimentary coffee and cocoa added a nice touch. However, the limited dining hours and occasional issues with the bill were minor inconveniences.
