It was a cute little room and our stay was very nice. Wish it had a mini microwave as the only door nearby was a Denny's and not really a favorite. Also, the pool was probably the worst thing about the property. It's right next to the freeway and I would feel very exposed to the world. It also wasn't kept well. Looked dirty. And lastly, the cemetery right next to the property was a bit unnerving. I had a first night experience of sleep paralysis that is rather not relive. The other 2 nights were fine though.

Hotel is very "tired"! Many services were out, ice machines, AC in elevator and toilet ran all day and night. Breakfast closes at 9 AM where most Hotels it lasts until 10 AM. Was NOT told at checkin the breakfast hours. Convenient for the VonLane bus. Hot cookie was nice
