Staff was friendly. They are in the process of renovating but you’d never know it because we were not disturbed once and the facility was immaculate. We did get a newly renovated room and it was very clean. The full hot and cold breakfast bar was yummy.

We stayed for a quick stop over with 3 small kids. The field next to the hotel was burning brush, so the room smelled like smoke. The hotel is also undergoing construction. The location could have been better, next to a Valero gas station and across from a Shell gas station.

Construction was ongoing but we were not disturbed. They post the hours when it would be done. We were gone before it even started. Quiet overnight stop with friendly and helpful staff. Power outage caused a delay in breakfast, but the staff worked quickly when power returned and asked several times how they could help us. Very pleasant staff!!

The property had some minor renovations going on, however the work did I not interfere with our stay. The staff was very helpful,our flight was 6 hours delay that put us at the property at 4:00am the following day. A call to the facility making them aware of the delay they were able to check us in and have our room keys readily available. Very seamless I thought this was very accommodating of the staff.i enjoyed my stay.
