Elevator was under repair for a day; water supply also under repair for a day. Stayed 4 days total. Otherwise hotel is clean and modern. WIFI is a little pokey. TVs are broadcast/cable only, not account streaming. Gym was adequate. Close to tons of shopping and the 5 highway. Quiet enough, did not feel the noise from traffic was noticeable, even though our room faced that direction. Without repair events, hotel would have been fine.

Liked: Cleanliness
Had to go down to front desk to ask for sanitation wipes to wipe down room because there was dirt in room on bathroom toilet. Also did not get the room that we originally requested which was a king size bed. They gave us two queen because that was all that was available. Gap underneath the door makes you feel unsecure as well because someone could stick a mirror underneath it to see if you’re in the room.

The property was clean and updated. The breakfast was excellent and had lots of choices for a variety of diets. There was one elevator not working and it is right by the freeway which is convenient and easy to get to but noisy. It is a great value for the price and we will stay again next year!

I don't want the cheapest room in the hotel

I arrived to find (for the first time) my reservation was for the cheapest room available. I had reserved a king room, I was offered a 2 queen room. This is probably more about how they work with Hotels.com than this specific hotel.
