Very outdated hotel for what they charge. Was clean but also showed a lot of signs of wear and tear. Bought a “deluxe” room and they put me next to the freeway. The noise interference is not bad, but also not great. They charge you 25 dollars for overnight parking for a hotel that is 25+ years old. No complimentary breakfast. Service was alright. I feel if you’re in desperate need of an alright overnighter than this is fine, but weekly vacation with the family there are a lot better options.

Pictures were nicer than the room. Carpet even thought it was clean, it was sticky. And the room old with attempt to look updated. Nothing is specifically wrong with the hotel. Staff is nice. Has amenities etc. but it does need a bit of an overhaul. I would say that, if the pictures didn’t show exactly that. If I expected a bit of older place I would say it was great. But false advertisement makes me lower score the hotel and my experience.

The hotel was amazing. The staff was great. My only complaint is $24 a day for parking outside. Seems a little steep. They should build that into the way of the room instead it’s a hard pill to swallow.
