My friend from San Diego was staying here for work again, so I got to visit and stay over a few nights. Last time I thought the stay was decent but maybe not the best, I rather stay at a Holiday Inn Express. But this stay changed my mind. The staff was on point and took care of the paperwork and posting of my friends rewards point in a timely manner. We even checked in early, no prob. Parking is easy, right out the front door. We got upgraded to a nice 1 bedroom king bed suite with a mini kitchen. Basically all it was missing was an oven. But it had a 2 burner electric stove, full sized freezer/fridge, big sink and dishwasher. Dishes, pots and pans all provided, even a toaster and coffee maker. Hot brewed coffee is available in the lobby 24/7, so we didn't need the coffee maker. The room was large with 2 big flat screen TV's, a couch and work desk. The bedroom had a nice king bed and attached vanity and bathroom. The shower had endless hot water. The AC unit was a in house unit, not the usual under the window wall unit that makes a ton of noise. This cooler ran almost silently which was really nice. What made me change my mind about Staybridge, was that before I thought the breakfast was a little subpar compared to other chains. But here, the breakfast was very good with waffles, biscuits and gravy, bacon or sausage, breakfast potatoes and scrambled eggs. There;s a selection of juices and dairy products, even soy milk for those that need it! This is what I really liked, was Mon, Tues, and Wed, they offer a Happy Hour all complimentary! Alcohol is served as beer (bud light and micros brew ”804”) and wine. It's all you can drink basically, though I didn't see anyone getting too carried away! Food varied from salad served with clam chowder, potato soup, nachos and meatball sliders. This is really nice and saves paying for dinner! Speaking of meals, one could cook in the included kitchen if you wanted. We cooked a lunch in the room and it worked out well. This is good especially if you're located in some po dunk town with not many eating out options. The better breakfasts and happy hour have changed my mind on Staybridge Suites over Holiday Inn Express! Both are on the same rewards program. There just aren't that many Staybridge Suites compared to Holiday Inn Expresses.
