8.4/10 Very Good! (41 reviews)
Perfect stay for a short vacation if you are planning to mostly be out and about. In the beginning of our stay we had some water heater problems but the staff was very quick and friendly when fixing the problem. The hotel is located right off the freeway so there is a lot of cars going by but we weren’t bothered by the noise. Overall good stay where we felt safe and had the basic necessities.
