My mother ended up staying with me, who is in a wheelchair, and the staff accommodated us with an accessible room semi last minute which was appreciated. The only complaint is the doors to the hallway aren’t accessible via a push door to open which would have been nice in consistently bringing the wheelchair in and out and having to manage opening the door and pushing the wheelchair thru. The room was great, comfortable beds, a zillion channels. The pool area looked nice. The breakfast was pretty standard and frequently stocked. Parking was ample, close to freeway and restaurants.

Lobby was very nice. Our room was bad. It evidently had leaks in the ceiling which they tried to repair. There was dust and ceiling droppings on the wall and floor. It wasn’t wiped or vacuumed. The sheets looked liked they had been slept in.
