This hotel is very close to the freeway, but surprisingly, I did not get a lot of the noise from the freeway. The location is very convenient to nearby restaurants and freeways. They offers free breakfast and free internet access. The room was very clean and the staff was always friendly. They pretty much solve all your problems if you ever encounter one. They also remodeled this place just couple weeks ago, and it looks fresh and nice now. Overall, very satisfied, would definitely return.

Room was clean and smell free beds could use an upgrade it was a little firmer then what I enjoy. I also liked that the clerk allowed me to see the room before I paid I think that helped me feel more comfortable with my night here.

Jacuzzi room was at a great rate online at a third party site. Room wasn't as spacious as I would have liked and maid came really late. The shower was in need of minor renovation and Jacuzzi was small.

I went in at 5 and original time is out at 11 but they treated us so well and gave us a few extra hours. Love this place. Up and downstairs, a lot of parking. Clean room and the price for a night with two bedrooms is not bad at all. We'll return.
