A very average hotel that was way overpriced. Mattress was one of the hardest I have ever *attempted* to sleep on. Staff were really not helpful.

I like the quietness of the area. Easy to find, right off of the freeway. Over all staff were great. Checkin/check out were quick and easy. No hidden charges. The most important part was that the room was cleaned and dusted. The only minor complaint was not enough table/chair during breakfast. The hand soap dispenser was strangely located far from the sink. The soap, shampoo/condition were basic. We booked for 3 and there was only 1 Qtip/cotton balls/nail file package. Luckily we brought some.

Nice property. Room was nice. A little noisy from the freeway side but manageable. Breakfast was ok. If you're a coffee snob I'd recommend going to one of the amazing local coffee shops nearby. The hotel coffee was lukewarm and awful. Pool was lovely. Staff was friendly and helpful.
