Excellent customer service provided by front office manager upon check in! I believe his name was Santiago. Very helpful and super polite. Rooms were clean and location was perfect. Lots of restaurant options in the area. In n out is also next door, perfect for a late night snack!

The hotel was lovely. Staff were amazing. Super clean, great shower, nice outdoor spaces. Unfortunately, it shares a parking lot with a very busy In-n-Out drive through. I love In-n-Out, but the line was blocking all of the handicapped parking spaces for the hotel, which I needed, and people in line were...well, donkeys, for sake of censorship.
