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.

Make sure you bring really good earplugs. It is so loud with the freeway, it sounds like the windows are open. The bathroom door doesn’t completely shut. The $30 usd per night dog fee is wild. There are no pet bowls or nice place for potty breaks. We also had the receptionist telling us we were late to check our after the first night even though we were booked for 4 nights. We would not stay here again.
