My family of 5 loved this hotel. The room was very clean and spacious. The 2 kind of down sides were that the couch pullout bed was super uncomfortable and the shower was slow draining. Everyone loved the breakfast! The best free hotel breakfast we've had.

Great location if you are planning to use CBX border crossing, staff was friendly, and room was clean. Some might find it as a negative but the hotel is not near anything as it is next to a warehouse district and to get to nearest restaurants/mall you have to take the toll road that is about 10min drive.
