Shuttle driver was very nice and front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Jetted tub room looked the same as photos. Only downside was that there was no heat in the bathroom and the week that I stayed was very cold and raining. Room was spacious and housekeeping staff was nice. Location was near freeways and other cities.

Fantastic staff, check-in and out, breakfast, room (cleanliness, beauty, space) and self-parking. The room ventilation was miraculous. First hotel we’ve stayed EVER where the ac didn’t sound like a jet taking off every time it kicked on—it was absolutely silent and kept the temperature constant throughout the night. Art at the desk was amazing! Expert, efficient and friendly. Exuded pride of ownership in everything he did. He was at the desk when we checked in at 8:00pm and he was still there/there again at 8:00 am!! The breakfast was amazing. The staff was on top of keeping everything available, fresh, hot and the serving area clean. Only drawbacks were the noise (abutting freeway and, just our luck to be surrounded by constantly slamming doors and coughing people), cleanliness of breakfast tables/floor, and self closing bathroom door. Wonderful overnight get stay!!

This property is well located. close enough to Old Town you can walk but there is a shutttle from the hotel as well. Rooms are basic but clean and beds were comfortable. The only downside is being on the side with the freeway, as it’s pretty loud. Breakfast was good and we enjoyed our one night stay.

Nice hotel near the airport

We enjoyed a 2 night stay at this hotel near the airport .. the room was comfortable and the breakfast was satisfying. There's a convenient shop near the front desk for many food and health items.. the free shuttle ride to the airport was great! Art helped with our questions and was very accommodating.
