Overall, this hotel is okay enough, if you aren't wanting to spend much. But, I would not repeat my stay for the price I paid. Noisy, bad mattress; worst breakfast I've ever encountered at a hotel, no matter the price. The young man working the check in counter was super helpful, super efficient, super friendly with a smile. He will go far; this place...probably not.

This location is right by the freeway and you can hear the cars right thru the walls. The staff was not helpful to control a group of noisy and unsupervised kids in the middle of the night. Would not recommend this place.

It was convenient, but way over priced. The morning front desk girl was super helpful and pleasant. Clean rooms but, it’s not worth the money per night. The breakfast is cereal and warm milk. Bed was comfy though.

Needs updated a/c & heat. It works but is extremely loud. There is no way to charge phones unless you bring a wall adapter which puts the phone too far from the bed. The people were very helpful and the frig was excellent. I had a mobility room which was good but needs to update bed and fix the room phone. Not everyone has a cell phone.

Staff were great. Their restaurant recommendation was top notch. But, the beds are lumpy and horrible. I thought maybe it was just mine but my sis-im- law stayed in the room next door and said the same. Otherwise rooms were clean and facility was convenient.
