We have stayed here many times and it has been great… this time we had driven for hours and were told our card was denied….I showed them my receipt and how everything had been prepaid… The front desk gal was but we can’t charge me… Expedia needs to call me… so I got on line and asked for someone to contact the hotel they did but all this too more than an hour going back and fourth… got our keys and the girls were not really done cleaning the room and my husband and I realized that the room we were given over looked the freeway… so three nights sleeping on the freeway… not the best!

No A/C or radio

I booked this room for a friend from out of state. After his stay he commented the A/C and the radio did not work. I do not know if he called for help, as he got it quite late and was ready for rest. I was not present, but I am disappointed nevertheless.

I enjoyed my stay very much. Three key areas are what will keep me coming back to a hotel. 1. Location- the location of this hotel was perfect for my stay. 2. Cleanliness- this hotel places an emphasis on being clean. Love it! 3. Comfort- the beds and pillows are incredibly comfortable relative to other hotels at which Ive stayed for business or pleasure. The breakfast was good, there are restaurants and shopping nearby, and there is a small pool and jacuzzi that rounds out the experience. ❤️

The hotel was good lots of room. The breakfast was great. The pool needs repair and when we went down to the pool there was loud music blaring, a dog and drunk people down there making food using a mask shift stove. Not very family friendly.

Fantastic breakfast!! Nice lobby and rooms, hallways felt very dated and kind of dingy. Updating the hallways would go very far. Doesn’t impact your stay, just the feel of the hotel. If your room is close to the highway you will hear it at night.

Our experience was great! Breakfast was really Good and attendants were super helpful. Only complaint was that our room was supposed have a sofa bed and it Turned out to only be a sofa. And the air was a little hard to control. Otherwise, it was great. Definitely go back!!
