Quiet and clean only draw back is In n Out burger is there and the drive-through backs up throughout the parking lot so it makes it kind of difficult to come back in the evening and get a parking spot because their cars are circling around to go to In-N-Out either to park or go through the drive-through other than that, the hotel is an excellent place to stay plenty of eateries around the area
