Staff was very kind and professional. Breakfast was amazing, parking was free and safe. A little disappointed that the jacuzzi was not open, it had recently been painted. The hotel was in the perfect location for our purposes and close to gas station. Great experience overall.

Great for rest - not so great to get work done

The staff was helpful and kind. Overall condition was just “ok”. It was quiet and the bed was comfortable. The internet did not work in my room. Called the front desk to inquire and was told that in my part of the hotel the internet did not work well but they were working on fixing it. Also, very limited television, which was surprising for such a large metropolitan area.

Nothing fancy, but adequate. The free breakfast was excellent. Room sizes are excellent; bathroom amenities are excellent. My key had to be reprogrammed every night, which was a bit bothersome. Housekeepers ignored or don’t understand they please make up my room sign, but for a convenient stay, it was well priced.

Meh. Honestly I would have changed hotels but my bed was comfortable and I was overwhelmed. This hotel smells. The second floor smells especially bad. I stayed on the third but went to the second for laundry. It’s run down and dirty. Bar next door was loud. People loud in hotel parking lot and freeway noise was constant. Left my room one day and came back to it cleaned, but sliding door was left wide open. Won’t stay here again.
