Overpriced and underwhelming....

Was in Gilroy for a wedding and most of the attendees were staying here so we stayed here as well.  

The room was whatever... nothing extra special except for the flat screen.  The air conditioner wasn't even turned on when we got there so it was a million degrees.  Try getting ready for a wedding while sweating, gross..  The hallways and elevator were also disgustingly warm.  The hotel is very maze like, got lost a few times.  The breakfast would have been awful except for the make your own waffles...

I think it goes from a three star to a two star just because the room was so ridiculously over-priced!

Gas leak forces family to relocate for couple of days to this pleasant hotel.  Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff go out of way to make things good.  Wi-Fi access kept me connected while overlooking the heated pool and spa.  Son enjoyed the gym, wife enjoyed the comfortable beds and I enjoyed the dry sauna.  Black Bear Restaurant (connecting parking lot, hotel has plenty of parking) offered good meals including cashew chicken ceasar salad, children's menu tri-tip meal and great old fashioned wax papered wrapped burgers.  Feather stuffed pillows kept my back comfortable as I typed this review.  I was very pleased with our stay @ this hotel and am impressed with the level of customer experience skills that I observed during my stay. (no I'm not an employee or in any way connected to this chain - full disclosure)

Stayed for two nights.  The amenities include: free WiFi, small fridge in the room, hot tub, sauna, pool, fitness room, etc.  Breakfast was nice... boiled and powdered-scrabbled eggs, sausages (only during the weekend?) and pastries.  The microwave was available at the breakfast area for use at night to heat up any leftover take home.  The pool was supposed to be heated but the water was still cold.  The hot tub was warm but the bubble-jets didn't work.  The rooms were large and clean.  My kids love the soft pillow top beds but they were a little too soft for back-support for me...I paid for it with lower back pains when we got home.  The motel was close to many eateries, 7-eleven and of course... the factory outlet stores.  Nice place to stay for shopping, rest, eating, the Garlic festival or even a day at the beach in Santa Cruz!
