19.2/10 Exceptional! (420 reviews)
I always love staying at this hotel. The rooms are comfortable and have every amenity necessary. The location in Central Mountain View cannot be beat. The very best part is that this is a family run establishment and you will feel a sense of caring and warmth from the staff throughout your stay. It is a special place.

Verified traveler

If your staying at a hotel for a decent charge, and the catch of extra charge for parking makes it about the same price for an excellent stay elsewhere with no surprise fees. Make the call where you want to stay
