Excellent location, across the street from the Hiller Museum, where we were attending an event. Nothing too fancy about the hotel, but it is clean. Included breakfast was about what you'd expect. One issue they need to look into: Watching TV is a challenge. Lots of blips and pixilations on every channel.

Clean, staff is very approachable and helpful. Property is used for storing shipping containers so even though lower level has a window and nice views of the airport you may not see the view. Breakfast is well stocked has two hot items usually eggs, sausages, potatoes etc. Other items such as fruits, breads, yogurts are well stocked. We stay here 3-4 times a year and would do it again.

Elevator does not work. Be prepared to carry your bags up the flight of stairs to your floor. Neighbors are noisey and can easily hear noise from other rooms due to thin walls. Toilet seat is very low to the ground. They charge for parking.

This place was completely disappointing for the price. I felt like I was in some fleabag motel on the side of the freeway, not a place I would pay $300/night for! The smell of the room was pungent, like burning tires and fake lemon. The bed was AWFUL (whoever said they are comfortable in the reviews lied, they are stiff, springs poking into your back and pillows cricked my neck). The bedspread is this scratchy cheap polyester. Truly couldn’t wait to get out of there, I left at 6:30am.

We have been doing our staycation here for last 2 years. There is construction going on behind the property but didnt bother us over the 3 nights stay. Cool to see hobby airport planes taking off and landing from the room. Breakfast is decent- had hot eggs or omelets and oats with nuts and seeds options. Has a small gym with weights and treadmills to burn of those excessive vacation calories. Was able to watch NFL games while burning calories. Cable has very limited options but has Netflix and YouTube capabilities. So wasn't an issue. They do charge $7 per day for parking, which was weird as its not a airport hotel that has limited parking space, again not a major issue.
