Despite having a room next to the elevator doors, it was a fairly quiet stay. Decent breakfast options for a free breakfast, clean rooms, and clean grounds. All the staff from the front desk to housekeeping are excellent and friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I appreciated that the hotel was close to the freeway for easy access, yet it was quiet with no freeway noise. Complimentary breakfast was served every morning with many options. We’ll definitely be back!

Eva, Jan 2017
Pros (+) I loved the free breakfast - so many tasty options! I also loved that the bath products are Bath & Body Works. The whole place was very clean and quiet; I really loved staying there.
Cons (-) There isn't a ton of lighting in the bathroom, so it's a little dark while showering. It's not a problem at all but that's my one minor complaint about the room.

Pros (+) Had a two week extended stay, staff at hotel were amazingly friendly and helpful, especially front desk staff and breakfast room staff. Breakfast buffet was ample and plentiful.... Wifi connection was excellent and there was the added bonus of a laundry room... Highly recommend a stay if holidaying in the area. Would recommend a car to move about.
Cons (-) No dislikes
