Evening staff a female was nice at check in. Room was some what clean. We did find crumbs on the carpet and a previous guests socks on the nightstand. The room at least on the second floor was incredibly loud. You can hear people walking above you, back and forth. You can hear people walking the hallways and doors slamming. Front desk didn't seem to care. Day shift was cold and not attentive.

DAY ONE: The smell of fresh clean linens. I love it. Room was huge. Executive king. Room has a sofa bed. Staff is very nice. We had the pleasure of meeting Ricky. He is amazing. Very nice, helpful and informative. NIGHT ONE: First night was a drag for sleep. We asked for the top floor upon arrival but were told they were all full at the top floor. I don’t know why any hotel would put kids on a top floor. We had littles running at 11pm-12am and then from 4-6:30am running again and an adult stomping back and forth. After 2 hours I couldn’t handle it anymore and called downstairs to have them call the room to have them stop. We were in room 236. They stopped for a bit and started back up at 6:45am. That was unfortunate. NIGHT TWO… used earplugs so I didn’t have to hear the upstairs people stomping and kids running at 5am this time. The walls and floor are very thin. You can hear talking upstairs and next door. The hallways have a cold draft when it’s cold. Our room started to smell like a wet damp towel on day two after we came back from being out all day. I assume it was due to the non stop rain and possibly leaks within the walls. The Dove soap does make a difference and makes all of the rooms smell good. We had to open the balcony door to air out the room. It makes sense why we see all of the rooms open when they are being cleaned out. They are being aired out before being occupied.

The location is good and hotel has fairly recently been updated. Buffet breakfast was very good. And generally the hotel is in good condition, mostly. My one complaint was at night the room was a bit warm. I opened the balcony sliding glass door and there was a nice breeze but the noise from freeway was very loud. So, closed door and tried the AC and that was worse! They really need a new AC in that room. Also, if you stay here try to get a room not facing the freeway.
