It offers clean, spacious, and quiet rooms that are suitable for a variety of guests, including disabled travelers. The rooms feature large windows with natural light, mini fridges, and Starbucks coffee in reception, making for a comfortable stay. The bathrooms are particularly praised, with a beautiful, 1980s style design, featuring black and white marble, a small freestanding tub, and a roomy shower. The hotel has friendly, efficient staff and offers amenities like free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, and a separate bar on-site. Guests appreciate the central location near many restaurants, shops, and the farmers market, making it easy to walk around downtown Davis. However, some drawbacks include outdated room features such as a 1960s-style wall unit air conditioner that takes a long time to cool the room, limited electrical outlets near desks, and poor lighting. The decor has a strong 1980s vibe, with tacky window coverings and furnishings, and the rooms are dominated by large TVs. Parking is underground but limited, and the elevator is small. Room features like no art or mirrors on walls, no bottled water, and a $50 deposit for incidentals were noted. Maintenance issues like a difficult-to-flush toilet, elevator problems, and a sewage leak occurred during some stays, though staff responded by moving guests to better rooms. Overall, the hotel is praised for its perfect downtown location, cleanliness, and friendly staff, making it a good choice for those visiting Davis, despite some outdated features and occasional maintenance issues.
Great hotel and staff located in the heart of Davis easy walk to all the fun.

We were traveling through and found this gem for a quick breakfast. Pleasantly surprised. Parking was tricky... Quality ingredients, no packaged jam/jelly. Bread was not sliced loaf like most...
