We stayed in a newly renovated room- the tiling around bathtub was poorly done. We loved the decoration and furniture in the room Breakfast was one of the best we have had. Lots of choice. Staff person over seeing the breakfast couldn’t do enough to help us. She was very welcoming.

Our room had a smell to it as well as the hotel lobby. More like a really bad musty smell. Our rooms toilet was running when we got in there. My husband told the front desk gal and she said she only had one other room available but it was two queens. My husband just said we will turn water off to the toilet. The gal at desk said that our room was one of the last to be updated. Carpet was really icky dirty. If we’d of known that we would have gone somewhere else prior to reserving. They should have just let internet know there wasn’t a king available. It wasn’t front desks fault. Breakfast was good and clean.

Disliked: Amenities
This is an older property that appears to be in the process of being updated. It was fine for a place to sleep with some confusing light controls and alarm clock. Acceptable breakfast is included. The accessible room had a strange room configuration with the sink outside the bathroom, presumably to allow a wheelchair to fit into the toilet/shower area. The shower, however, is not a roll-in and requires stepping over the bathtub. Location is convenient to freeway and a couple of eating places within a short walk.
