AC was not on when we entered room. We had notified the hotel we would be arriving late. Room should have been cooled down prior to checking in. Extreme heat in area and room was unbearable. Limited amenities in room. NO cups! Room was clean and the hot water supply to shower was the best I have ever had traveling.

This place is pretty nice overall. Breakfast items were limited, but it’s very nice they offer it (waffles, toast & muffins, coffee & juice, oranges). They do charge $100 for their deposit not $50 anymore and check out used to be before noon- it still says noon on their Expedia page, but it is 11am. No big deal, since most places do have 11am checkout deadlines, though there are a few that have 12pm checkouts w no additional charge. I got in very late the previous night (after 11pm) and the young lady at the desk in the am was very kind to still allow me to check out at noon, when I asked ahead of time.

Pet friendly. Next to a major highway so there was constant noise. Breakfast is a waffle maker and some wrapped pastries. The hotel is also next to a busy plaza strip so there are constant trucks bringing in merchandise to the merchants. The hotel is best if you are just passing thru for the night.
