Pros:

We checked in very late at night because our flight got delayed, but the staff accomodated us.

Cons:

Their parking area was almost non-existent. We got lucky there was a spot on the street. The room was small and the beds were crammed in the small room.

Everything is perfect except the noise
Pros:

Location, amenities, cleanliness, WiFi and air conditioning were all great. Good thing parking wasn't an issue as I read with previous guests

Cons:

Proximity to freeway and dig training/boarding school made it uncomfortably loud. I was towards the middle and facing towards the main street. Next time I'll have to request other side of the hotel and further towards the entrance to at if it makes it any more quieter.
