Great stay.

The stay was very good. I wouldn’t pay to upgrade to a valley view room. Yes, you can see the valley but you basically have a view of the pump and play gas station. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

The hotel front desk staff was amazing!! Super helpful and went above and beyond. Parking wasn’t the best and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable I’ve slept in (but I also like my bed on the very soft side) - but the staff made it all worth it and are definitely the reason I would be staying again.
