The property served our family well. It was well lit, hallway and amenities looked well kept and did not have a smell to them. My only draw back was the shower. There are some areas that require some love and maintenance- like their caulking. Quite a bit of rust and mold in certain areas. Also, getting a shower curtain that fits, may help with the mold and rusting issue.

The hotel was nice and clean. The bed wasn’t so comfortable but that’s a personal preference. The property has beautiful landscaping and the location is ideal being next to the freeway. I do not recommend the restaurant next door the food is mediocre and overpriced. Over all a good experience and I wld stay again.
