“Great Location / A Boutique Kind of Hotel”

Easy walking to down town restaurants and next door to the campus at U.C. Davis which is also a pleasant walk (or bike ride as all the students do). The hotel is small, quiet for its corner location, easy free parking. We had a disabled person in our party and it was easy to get her moved in as the cars were near an entrance and it was a direct 30 feet to her room. Very basic "breakfast" offered but there was a fridge and coffee in the room and the great restaurants around made it unnecessary to even try it. I would definitely stay here again. Front staff were very helpful with restaurant recommendations and any requests.

“Excellent Stay”

Just such a great location for visiting alumni. Nice walk in the morning along Putah creek and the Quad. The king suite/cottage had room enough for the 4 years old twins on the fold-out sofa in the living room. The King was spacious and the jacuzzi in the bathroom a plus. Definately will be the first choice next time.

“New Year's Eve escape”

I went to Davis on New Year's Eve day to escape my noisy SF neighborhood. The campus, town and hotel were very quiet indeed, so the caveat about my experience is just that. The hotel was what I wanted, as I could walk to it from Amtrak and then around town and campus. It seemed to fit other recent reviews, was clean, and with a great bed and bath products. I went with little so the friendly staff provided me with packets of toothpaste and shaving cream. I could see the evidence of the recent upgrade, and it was worth it. The breakfast is the now-standard waffle/bad Danish/apples/cereal package, but it worked in a pinch. And the windows opened! Thus, no complaints from me. I will stay there again, aware of the unique timing of my stay.

“Hotel is okay”

The first room we were given had an unpleasant odor. The receptionist was extremely helpful and pleasant and moved us to another room which was fine and she called to check that we were satisfied. There was some construction going on, but it didn't affect us. We only stayed one night. There are not many hotels in Davis, so would probably stay here again. It is very convenient for the campus and for downtown.

“Think I'll look around.”

The room itself was very nice, but there was was no elevator, so to lug heavy suitcases up flights of steps wasn't fun from a 6 day trip. The breakfast was very convenient, with a make-them-yourself Belgian waffle machine, and usual cereals, juices, etc. The heat/cooling controls were quiet, and the bed comfortable. The main restaurant areas were a few blocks away, so people who like a good walk wouldn't mind, which we like, but some might not. The location is close to the UC Davis campus, and that is nice.

“Needs some updating and repairs.”

I have stayed here before but noticed that the hotel needed some upkeep on this last visit. There were holes in the walls unpatched, toilet seemed to leak and run, and the subfloor above creaked noisily and the furnishings seem quite dated. On the positive side, the hotel is in a great location in a quiet neighborhood on the border of the University. You can walk downtown where there are nice restaurants. I like the hotel as it is small, boutique. It does need to be upgraded.
