8.6/10 Excellent! (2,816 reviews)
"This was a good hotel. Located near Le Cumbre Plaza and easy to get to the freeway. Room was clean and provided all we needed. The bathroom looked pretty old and probably needs updating. Carpet as well. Beds were fine, a little firm for my taste. But overall, we were happy with the hotel."
