Nice room, comfortable bed. Nice lobby and welcoming staff. Also just a half mile to 101 freeway on-ramp . I had a busy day, and I came in late , went to bed and got up early and nothing impeded my time, So I appreciate that I could do everything quickly Since I was on a work trip.

We’ve stayed here before and considering that they had renovations going on during our stay, they went above and beyond to accommodate their guest as best as they could and we appreciated that. Breakfast is always the best there’s something for everyone. FAMILY FRIENDLY.

Great place to spend a night, clean rooms, comfortable and spacious. Nice staff, breakfast was adequate with fairy good selections for "included" breakfast. The hotel is close to the freeway, so a bit noisy but not too bad. Try to get the room that faces away from the pool and the freeway if you are "noise sensitive"
