Wife and I were visiting family in the area for a few days and even though we have status with Marriott and Hilton and rarely stray from them we picked this place due to the location and having walkable dining and shopping. The area around the hotel seemed very safe, never saw a single homeless person, anything or anyone suspicious. We got an upgrade on the rental car at the airport and parked the rented Maserati in their free parking lot, no issues, so I would have been comfortable if we had our less exotic car in that same lot. Loved the Italian restaurant next door, but there were other places to eat that were walkable as well, we just didn't have the time . Target/CVS across one street, costco a block away and a mall across the other street. We had a mini suite, very nice and spacious, probably more than we needed, was more like an apartment. They have keurigs in the rooms and lobby and extra K-cups and supplies in the lobby if you need them. We bought a small half/half at CVS but later noticed they actually had real creamer cups, not the powdered stuff hotels usually put in the rooms. We didn't eat or drink in the lobby bar/restaurant but it looked nice and the pool had cabanas that seemed free and were vacant when we looked, it just didn't fit into our schedule on such a short trip but if we were here for more than two nights or had more free time we would have spent more time at the property and the area. For the price we paid we were very impressed, I don't believe there were any resort fees, I know there was no parking fees and that usually worries me that parking might be in short supply, poorly maintained or poorly lit but the opposite was true. One day they called us to let us know that they were going to wash the outside windows with a drone and just didn't want us to be alarmed, we were packing anyways and about to leave but stayed a few minutes to watch it, very cool. Oh and the elevators were fast, always seemed to arrive quickly or already be there. I have no complaints and only compliments for the staff we encountered, all of them were helpful and pleasant, even the other guests were all nice. At this price point it exceeded our expectations. I completed their survey and got a nice e-mail that was not AI generated from the manager the next day, I appreciate the little touches. I believe Cambria hotels will now be part of my searches if they are anything like this one.
