Property looks newer than the ones I looked into in the same area. It's probaly about a half mile away from the freeway, so it's quiet. It also has good reviews so that's a plus. The free breakfast is lacking in my opinion. The egg omelette does not even taste like one. The only thing I like is the coffee lol. Having said that, I still recommend it.

Rooms very clean, quiet and comfortable. View of the pool. Nice stay. Only mild issue was the room (207) had a smell that reminded us of faint bug spray. Our daughter's room had no smell. Overall, nice stay.

Loud an breakfast needs to improve service
