Do not stay here. It's nothing like the pictures. They charged me a $150 deposit on top of the $160 room rate for "incidentals" but there are no incidentals. There's no food, or gift shop so why are you holding $150? They also charged me $117 when I checked out and have no clue what it was for. OH and the hot water took over 10 minutes to get hot. Seems like a huge waste of water but the guy at the front desk said to let it keep running. Won't stay here again.

The staff that checked us in were very cool and super friendly and nice. The property seems like it's older but has been somewhat recently renovated. The rooms are spacious and clean. Beds are very comfortable. The rooms are not super quiet. You can hear traffic noise from the freeway. We stayed on the second floor and we could definitely hear people walking around on the third floor. This hotel is nothing super special. But it is great if you just want a clean comfortable place to stay.
