I enjoyed our stay. It was convenient to restaurants, the staff was very polite and helpful, and the room was clean. My only complaint was the pillows. They are way to soft. It would be nice to have a variety of soft and firm pillows.

This was one of the best hotels I have stayed at in years, and I travel A LOT. Large parking lot. Airy and attractive building. Excellent check-in, fast and efficient. Quiet elevator. Large clean room with everything that works. The area was quiet, in spite of being by the freeway; didn’t hear road noise at all. Well-done breakfast setup and plenty of table seating. Another nice room in lobby to sit in. I wish every hotel I have to use was as nice as this one. 10/10. Would absolutely book there again!
