Honestly awesome room!! Looks and feels like almost new. Really comfy bed and really nice bathroom. It was a really nice surprise. Definitely staying there in the future

We were in the breakfast area around 7:30am (it starts at 6:30) and there were only cereal and some bread to eat. It was ok but when we checked out around 9am there were also hot cakes and other stuff. It would have be ok to also have the chance to eat those.

Easy to find, easy access on and off the freeway. In spite of the location being close to the freeway. It was very quiet and peaceful. The rooms were clean and smelt fresh not like cigarette. Huge plus.

The rooms were kind of small and the AC was very noisy. The walls there are paper thin you could hear your neighbors clearly.

The rooms were extremely clean, the bathtub was large and the shower was great. Lots of hot watet. The TV was large and lots of channels available. The representative that checked us in was very professional and helpful as well as the the one who checked us out. The property was very clean. I was very impressed with the room. We usually stay at a another hotel, but now I will make this hotel my first choice.

Quick check in on arrival, room was what was expected. Location was close to the Zoo and Harbor which is why we booked here. Over all good Hotel.

No coffe maker in the room, Door did not seal completely from outside even when locked. You could see light coming from underneath the door and the side.
