Comfortable and friendly

We were in town for a wedding. Customer service was amazing from the front desk, to breakfast service, and the cleaning staff. Beds were comfortable and a/c unit worked great. Hotel was fairly quiet we couldn’t even hear the nearby freeway.

Liked: Cleanliness

So noisy.

We were told we had been given a “nice quiet room”. Our room was right next to highway 99 with trucks barreling along all night. The garbage bins were near our window and the garbage trucks made their rounds at 4:30 am. It was the noisiest room we’ve ever stayed in - and that includes airport hotels! We were not expecting sarcasm from the person that checked us in - it would have been better if he had said nothing about sound - at least we wouldn’t have expected a peaceful night.
