Room was okay but bathroom sink hadn't been fully cleaned (hair and lipstick). Sheets very wrinkled? Breakfast room was closed but coffee was available. You do have to walk over freeway to access restaurants and supermarket.

The Hotel promotes a pool, hot-tub, and a buffet breakfast. These 3 things were the reasons that we booked our room. The pool & hot-tub were green, had a jelly coat, and closed. The breakfast did not include eggs and bacon like their pictures showcase.

The cleaning of the room i would said it was poor, the smell of the bathtub curtains was annoying, i found some hair on the bathtub as well and some on the floor, the floor in the room looked dirty. What i liked about the property was the location it was closer to everything and easy access to freeway.

It could’ve been better.. it was very loud at night, it was cold so I didn’t want to go swimming but the pool was super dirty and ugly, it just brought the appearance down so much. The breakfast was disgusting!! So if you are looking for a hotel that comes with breakfast don’t do this one. The reason I gave it two stars was because the bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and nice! But besides that it had many downfalls
