My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were very comfortable and clean, and the housekeeping staff was super friendly when I needed extra items. However, the location was not the greatest due to noise from the freeway, and there were quite a few dogs and smokers around. The service was excellent, especially as they welcomed us as rewards members, but the lack of options for a pleasant lobby or dining experience was a downside.
