The staff was very gracious, Georgia, Parker and other people that were a pleasure. The hotel is very nice and tucked away in the UTC mall, University Town center Mall. It has a very nice breakfast with cheese options for the eggs and maple smoked sausage, kielbasa style! The pool and spa have a little waterfall that separates them! Their is covered seating, cabana style next to the pool. The rooms are spacious and beds comfy. The king suite we opted for has a nice desk in the center of the room, it's pretty neat! The TV is there too with small recessed lighting.
This is by far the best hotel I've stayed in. They manage this hotel with excellence. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The hotel is so clean and comfortable. The pool and hot tub area is beautiful with plenty of lounge chairs. The breakfast has something for everyone and will not disappoint. The fitness room is one of the best I've experienced. Very convenient to have guest laundry as well. We loved staying here, location is close to everything. Shops and restaurants within walking distance. Our king suite was very comfortable, super clean and spacious. Very quiet as well. Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay again.
Very good hotel ! I had a wonderful stay (12.29.2025 - 01.01.2026) with my 2 children. The staff is very kind. I do appreciate their welcome. The weather didn't let me try the swimming pool so I need to come back very soon :-) Very good breakfast, yummy and healthy.
Absolutely loved the hotel. Room was amazing!! Location was perfect. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Will Def being stay here again. Home away from home.
We received amazing service from Georgia. She want above and beyond to change our room and kept updating us via phone call when the room will be ready. To top it, she escorted us to the room and helped us with luggages and had a goodie basket for us. She had the biggest smile and appeared to love doing her job. She made our stay sooo smooth and comfortable. It felt like home. Thank you Georgia for excellent service. Your employer is lucky to have you. We are lucky and grateful for your excellent service. Thank you!
They let us check in at 10:30am! No extra charge and the pool was great, nice and warm! Excellent stay, thanks!
Clean, safe hotel. Good area for shopping. The mall is across the street. LA fitness is walking distance. Hot tub was nice. Would stay again.
We stayed here for one night last month. Walked in and were able to get a room without a reservation, receptionist was very nice and polite. The hotel was very clean and we felt safe. We didn’t have a a chance to eat breakfast, but we grabbed the “to-go” breakfast bag on the way out. Definitely recommend staying here.
