Lady at the front desk was very friendly, checking in was quick. Room was clean, we didn't get the updated room but had a fun interior. It was so nice and convenient to the restaurant. You do hear the freeway noise, AC helps block noise. There is some outside maintenance that could be done. I would stay again.

I liked how close it is to the restaurant and highway. The rooms were clean, but loud at night with vehicles coming and going. Not the hotels fault! We would stay and eat here again.
