okay stay near barnyard shopping
convenient location shopping center california vibe nice bartenders poor soundproofing parking charge cellophane window
i found the location convenient near the barnyard shopping center. the room had a california vibe. bartenders at the attached bar were nice.
the soundproofing WAS terrible, so i heard all noises. the hotel charges for parking, and there were no complimentary waters. cellophane windows made it hard to relax.

Appreciated the Stay
modern equipment on-site restaurant outdoor dining
The room had several amenities I was grateful for. There was a well-equipped fitness center with modern equipment. I liked the convenience of having an on-site restaurant with an outdoor dining area. These features added value to my stay.
The parking fee seemed a bit high for the available parking space.

9/10
The Shearwater Tavern provided good live jazz brunch one day. We sampled fresh fruit and toasty mochas and huevos rancheros that were served on blue corn tortillas. The chef was previously at Bernardus Lodge and our server, Angel, was the best.
