Disliked: Staff & service
It was very clean and modern. However the TV does not turn on, the small vanity mirror does not work. The gentlemen that checked us in was not very friendly. He looked very upset that we booked through a third party(Expedia). He actually wanted us to book it with him but was charging us $100 per night, which is $30 dollars more than Expedia. It staes they have breakfast in the lobby but that is far from the truth. Qhen my husband went to get some coffee and muffins he was pressing and pressing the coffee machine and come to see it is old and does not work,it was not even plugged in, and the gentleman in the front did not even let us know nor did he acknowledge us. He did not even bother to offer help. Just saw us struggling with the coffee machine. Needless to say THEY LIED ON SERVING BREAKFAST

The room was okay, but noisy due to the highway. Would not book again because it was so loud. The manager was very friendly.

The manager was very friendly and helpful. The room was renovated and ha a big bathroom. For the price it was very good. But it is noisy because of the traffic on the freeway. Choose another location if you‘re noise sensitive.
