Our family reserved three rooms this past Saturday night. All three rooms had a high pitched noise that kept coming on and off all night and day. It was not the AC unit we could not figure out where this high-pitched noise was coming from. It was very irritating. Also, there’s not much soundproofing. We could hear, baby screaming, and crying and children running up and down the halls early in the morning!

I was a bit disappointed in the condition of the property. They are doing some work on half of the rooms,-hopefully, they will also upgrade the side I was on, as well Everything in working order, but I presumed the Jacuzzi was closed, as it was brown. The manager was kind enough to respond to my BW review. The breakfast selection was great Overall, not bad, but a bit better for the price would be appreciated.

Relatively convenient, but be aware that it is on the other side of the 5 freeway from attractions and dining. This is walkable during the day, but you may need to drive or take ride share at night. It was surprisingly and pleasantly quiet given its proximity to the freeway.
