This place is amazing. It has laundry so you can wash your clothes but you have to bring your own detergent. There is a change machine in the laundry room as well. The parking was great just make sure you pay ahead for parking cause the do fill up and run outta spots. The front desk was helpful and amazing. Can’t wait to stay here next time.

Room was clean and bed was comfortable. There was a tiny closet, but no hangers to hang your clothes. We had a large table/counter which I appreciated. The room had a view to the freeway. we had to play with the AC to get the temperature just right and the fan from the AC muffled the noise from the freeway. We were able to catch a bus across the street from the hotel that took us to old town for just $2.50 per person. The hotel is in a nice location with shopping and restaurants close by

I loved this place for our trip but our AC stopped working and it was during the hottest day! They didn’t switch us rooms but only gave us a fan. Up to that point everything was good.

It was a very comfortable place. The noise did not bother me. There are places to get food close by. Considering the warning of it's limited Service and freeway noise in the email, it's a fairly good place to stay.

Super easy check in! There is a gate, and you must use your keycard to get in past a certain time. I like this sort of security. Room is clean and looks to have a newly renovated bathroom.

It is my second time staying here due to hospital stay. It is super convenient. Only thing that bothered me the most is the freeway noise therefore If you’re a light sleeper do not get the freeway noise room. Other than that this is great.
