I had a king suite and really enjoyed having a separate living room area along with a dedicated kitchen space. The room was very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast offered a great selection of options, and the grounds were clean and well maintained. The property felt safe and is conveniently located near plenty of shopping and dining options. A helpful tip for weekend stays: guests can turn right into Kane’s parking lot and exit behind Del Taco, which is a great way to avoid the long In-N-Out lines!
