“After looking into this property, I can see its strengths lie in its accessibility and service. The remodeled rooms and ADA compliance suggest a commitment to guest comfort, and its location near Downey attractions makes it a practical base. I was particularly struck by a report of the staff going above and beyond to ensure a guest's safety during a medical issue; that level of care speaks volumes.”
