I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. The location was very convenient, right off of the freeway. It was in a quiet location, but still close to amenities. There's a great deli/brew house next door. The hotel was clean and comfortable. I will stay there again.

Pros: Parking was easy, very clean rooms, and it was quiet. Cons: Downside was the pool and hot tub are closed, it says, until July 18th, 2026. I specifically booked this place months in advance for their pool and hot tub, so that was a let down. Nothing special about the rooms, they are very standard.
