"The hotel room was a reasonable rate, the room was very clean, staff were professional if not overly friendly and the location was very convenient. As to the amenities since you asked; the only one was free wifi. Ice maker was only available in the lobby so that was inconvenient. No breakfast only coffee. All that being said, I would definitely stay here again. It's clean and priced moderately"

"This was a very nice hotel for the price! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool/hot tub area could use some tlc. It is very close to the freeway, so there is noise from traffic. Also, the walls are pretty thin and you can hear what other guests are doing ;) But overall a good place to stay!"
