Everything went pretty well. The only problem or i would say concern was getting noise from the freeway especially at night. The windows facing freeway should be more insulated. Otherwise amenities, staff, cleaniness was excellent and hopefully i will be staying here for my next business visit.

Great Stay

The room was spacious and comfortable. Lobby was clean. Breakfast was a big plus for us. The location was away from other places if you want walking distance to nearby restaurants. The room could add a mirror outside of the bathroom.

In certain areas it was dirty. The beds were alot smaller than I expected. I read that there was supposed to be a made to order espresso bar and there it wasn't open and was never notified that it was not going to be open. Walls were super thin. Other than that I honestly enjoyed the stay, the rooms were nicely designed, I loved the fact that there was a full kitchen and breakfast was amazing
