I really enjoyed our stay. We stayed at the freeway noise room and weren’t really bother by the noise. The ac covered all the car noise and we had a pleasant stay. There’s a lot of options of walking restaurants and markets close by. Price was unbeatable.

The parking is a little complicated because there is none until you check in. You have to park across the street at the jack in the box and walk over. Besides that, the room and service were amazing and once you get access to the garage parking is guaranteed and secure.

The location is very convenient and close to everything, which made getting around easy. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. That said, the room was quite small for the price, and the parking was expensive. Overall, it’s a decent option if location matters most, but the value may not be ideal for longer stays or travelers with a lot of luggage.
