The landscaping was notable. The location is right next to freeway, but because of the layout of the property and the thoughtful landscaping, it felt like an oasis. There is a very nice patio centered within the property that creates an oasis effect. I will be back. Parking is underground with an elevator and breakfast ends at 9:30.

The breakfast looked good. It is typical hotel breakfast. They offered reasonable selections. I have seen worst in other hotels. I wish we did not have to pay for parking though. This is something new the hotels are doing which is very annoying.

The hotel is pleasant with a comfortable room layout and a very good shower. The pool and hot tub are a big plus and there is parking on the premises. The couple of drawbacks: The elevator card key deactivated multiple times and the bath and pool towels are scratchy. We arranged for daily room "refresh" and only had housekeeping one day when we followed up in the morning.

Brianna & Tom went above and beyond. From a staff standpoint, my experience was amazing. The room was not super clean, stains on mirrors and stained shower curtain, but the room had a great offering of amenities. Did not love how the elevator was finicky, or that I constantly found myself getting lost on the second floor, but that is the structure of the property and nothing to do with staff or the specifics of IHg WC. Breakfast was wonderful. Special thank you to Brianna and Tom for everything!!!
