I stayed at the hotel and found it to be in a convenient location close to restaurants and shopping centers. The rooms had a few issues with stains and a musty smell, but the king size beds were comfortable. The service was a mix of unhelpful staff and a few helpful and empathetic team members. The breakfast was very basic with limited choices, but the value for money was reasonable. The facilities were average, nothing extraordinary.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, close to restaurants and shopping centers, but the noise from the freeway was quite loud. The service was a mix; while some staff were always helpful and empathetic, others were rude and more interested in their phones than in assisting guests. The rooms were absolutely dirty with stains on the carpet and holes in the doors, but I appreciated the close proximity to amenities. The dining experience was minimal, with limited choices for breakfast. Overall, the hotel had its flaws but also some positives.

The rooms were absolutely dirty, with patches from holes in the interior doors and a musty smell. The floor had lots of stains in the carpet, and the doors were not very secure. Water in the shower was a concern.

The service was a mixed bag. Some staff were always helpful and empathetic to my group's needs, while others were rude and hardly spoke, more interested in their text messages than checking us in. It took ages to get things sorted out.

The location was not great due to the loud noise from the freeway, but it was close to restaurants and shopping centers. It was a little off the beaten path and not the greatest area of Modesto/Ceres.

The dining experience met our needs for one night, but the choices were limited. The breakfast options were minimal, with a few items like bagels, butter, and jam. There could have been more variety.

The hotel is conveniently located right off Highway 99, offering easy access and a safe area. The rooms, although with lingering smoke smell and some interior door issues, still resembled the pictures. The service was mixed, with friendly staff but one employee more focused on text messages than guests. The breakfast was very basic, meeting minimal needs for a one-night stay. The hotel's location in Ceres is safe but not the greatest in the area.

The hotel is situated in a safe area right off Highway 99, with easy on-and-off access, but it is not the best part of Modesto/Ceres.

Breakfast was minimal, offering only bagels with limited juice selections that were not traditional juice but more like a flavored drink.
