Expensive for very basic facilities.
Pros:

Breakfast was only served until 9 AM. We never made it. There was almost drawer space and the refigerator/freezer left a lot to be desired.
When I called while we were on the road, it took 45 minutes for a the call to ring in. We asked for a late leave time and were charged for the extra hour. Parking places were $26. Everything seemed to be an opportunity to charge more.

Cons:

See above

This property is a good place to stay. Parking isn’t great, but other than that I would stay again!
Pros:

Beds are very comfortable.

Cons:

Parking is 26 dollars a night and is not exactly SUV friendly. The last 3 nights of our stay the room on top of his seemed to have a bounce party making our stay less than enjoyable.

Cons:

Right on I-8 so you hear traffic noise 24 hrs per day. If that’s a deal breaker for you, find another property. I’m very sensitive to noise though and I slept good because the beds are so soft!
