The hotel is conveniently located near the outlets, but I was disappointed to find quite a bit of hair in the bathroom and in other areas of the room. I had also paid for the breakfast buffet, and when I arrived at 8 AM, much of the food was already gone and wasn’t replenished until I asked.

Nice property, conveniently located to 101 freeway, restaurants and shops. Great gym with lots of free weights, machines and cardio equipment. I thought breakfast was included but it was an extra $22 per person plus tax. It did not appear to be worth it.
