Amanzi Hotel, an Ascend Collection Hotel
The room was very spacious for a family of 5. Only a few issues to note: the bedding from the pull out couch was dirty so we didn’t use it. The location of the hotel was nice because it was right off the 101 but also very loud due to that same reason. The free parking was a plus.
