For the money that I paid for the room I got way more than expected. I just needed to sleep 2-3 hours to take a break while driving long distance and didn’t want to spend to much for unnecessary conditions, however I was pleased to be welcomed by a friendly staff, easy check in, clean place, fridge in the room, Wi-Fi, AC, and bed was pretty comfortable.

Stayed here many times. The noise level from I-5 is high, but it is high at the other hotels here as well. Breakfast is limited. Staff is friendly. Ok for a quick overnight stop.

Checked in. Stayed fo 15 mins. Check out. Very bad Smell. How come expedia even offer this room. I just check the reviews after we check out. Lots of people have complained about the smell. I ask for refund but was denied. Lesson learned. Expedia saying they can not refund because hotel doesnt want to. I told them i didnt book with them. I booked with you. They just passing the buck. I will take more action and will make complaint to authorities.

I arrived very late, but I was greeted and felt comfortable. I was obviously tired and the front desk attendant asked me if I needed anything. She informed me where to park and the time breakfast was ready. It was perfect because I needed to leave at very early. The breakfast area was very nice and there was plenty of room to seat. It was a nice stay.
