Very clean, good location (easy freeway access) parking is free which is a plus and the staff was friendly. My only complaint will be a weird smell on the pillows (not bad ) but very overwhelming. Also the whole hotels has this smell like they have a giant air plug fragrance and once again the smell is very overwhelming.
