The Historic Cow Palace is even better than when it was new years ago. The room was updated and very comfortable, clean and quiet.

First the pros: the bed was fairly comfortable. Check in/out was easy. Friendly front desk staff. The room seemed clean. Parking was easy I got there early enough to park backed into my door making getting luggage in easy. They provide breakfast (I didn't go to that so unsure of quality)
Cons; the shower was Luke warm at best. It was turned as hot as possible and hardly warmed up so not ideal after a night in a different bed. Breakfast isn't served until 7am. Probably ok for most travelers unless you need to leave early. The walls were very thin. There was visible space under the door. Very loud compared to some other hotels in the area. You could hear everything in the parking lot, room next door and the honking train that goes by fairly often (all night) not sure I'd stay again unless there weren't other choices in the area
Very unique place to stay. Very clean and quiet. It's not user friendly because there's only one towel rack in the bathroom. A hook on the back of the door would allow another towel or bath robe. Also, no rack for the hand towel. There are plenty of places to put one. The vanity is so short my makeup items kept falling off. No tissues.
However, the bed was very comfortable, good heater/ac,
great television, good breakfast. Overall I would stay there again.

They are just finishing up a remodel but it doesnt really interfere with anything. Room was clean, staff was nice, the restaurant was pretty good. The breakfast was not that great- limited and bland. Good prices.
