It was ok. Definitely pictures makes one expect better. Breakfast was subpar and garbage from janitorial staff left or forgotten upstairs by railings. Front desk staff when checking in was on phone and not very communicative. To be fair, she may have been dealing with an issue with supervisor. Will try another hotel when down for business.

Stuff are nice and helpful. Free parking is awesome. Convenient access to a freeway. The wifi connection is not good. Due to internet problems or something related, we were not able to watch TV. But watching TV was not our main reason to stay, so it did not affect us emotionally at all.

There was not enough parking in the property so cars had to park in front of the lobby so exiting the parking lot was quite a hassle but otherwise the stay was good. Breakfast options are not great but it was still ok. Overall I'd give this hotel a solid 4 stars.
