Horrible Stay, useless staff
Do not stay here. It’s right off the freeway and the road noise is so loud. Then you have the AC & refrigerator noise competing to see which can be the loudest. The beds are so hard and not comfortable & last but not least, the sofa bed is held up by springs with sheet thin mattress. It literally feel and sounds like you are sleeping on springs. It was a horrible experience and the worst $200 I’ve ever spent.
