Our Garmin map gave us inaccurate directions but we found the hotel to be close to the freeway. Initial appearance at night was dark but we never felt unsafe. Staff was nice, are room opened directly to the parking lot and a large grassy area which are pup loved. Beds were comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. The outdoor pool was closed (April 6). The breakfast was basic, but we left early.
