It's a nice enough property, though I wouldn't call it modern or exceptionally clean. It's conveniently located near In-n-Out, shopping and the freeway. The hot tub was not on when I was there, which is lame because that's one of the reasons I booked it. Overall it was... OK. Nothing terrible, nothing particularly great.

Pleasant surprise! The hotel front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. The room was very nice. The breakfast buffet was tasty. The location was convenient with In and Out, Raisin’ Canes, and Del Taco about a two minute walk away. We were looking for a relatively functional place to stay one night somewhere near the Safari Park and found a gem.

Great place and convenient to stay. Breakfast was included. My mom really enjoyed it. Overall for the price and the property in season, it wasnt bad. I stayed there years and years ago and compared to then looks like they have maintained the rooms but maintenance can do a bit of a better job when working on them, work looks a bit rushed. Overall great place to stay.
