Very nice location with shopping and dining options nearby. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable if a bit hard. Breakfast was great; the attendant was on top of keeping everything filled and hot. Wide array of hot and cold foods; something for everyone.
Positive things about this hotel were that it was convenient to I-5, the staff was pleasant, the room had been cleaned well, I enjoyed a swim, and the breakfast was good. Negative things were that the room was dark and its layout was poor so two guests were constantly having to crawl around one another. During the night, the building occasionally hummed/rattled which awakened us; and we could hear the interstate. The mattress was so-so. I don't know whether they use surge pricing, but I know that it was full the night we stayed there and it was expensive (approximately $380)--way too high considering the quality and amenities.
