Pet friendly. Next to a major highway so there was constant noise. Breakfast is a waffle maker and some wrapped pastries. The hotel is also next to a busy plaza strip so there are constant trucks bringing in merchandise to the merchants. The hotel is best if you are just passing thru for the night.

The room was clean. Very small refrigerator. It could be a really super place to stay if it was just updated. I liked that it was in the middle of a bunch of restaurants and grocery stores and it was easy to get about. The room was just tired.
