Pros:

Breakfast was good and variety of options were offered.
Facilities were very clean and well stack it has every little detail to make you feel at home, like coffee, tea, bathroom toilet stuff, microwave and a very comfortable couch.

Cons:

It was to noisy.
We slept late the night before and I wanted to sleep in but a could hear constant noise coming from the upper floor. started since 5 , 6 am . I believe my room was probably located just below the entrance, the lobby or the kitchen. The noise just sounded like rolling luggage, walking steps, talking, dragging furniture like chairs of tables. Not enjoyable at all. I feel like I should have been informed or warned about it.

I'd probably book somewhere else next time.
Pros:

I liked that this was close to the freeway on ramp.

Cons:

The layout of the hotel and the parking lot is a little weird. Our view was a retaining wall but we were there just for the night. I booked here since breakfast was included but honestly it wasn't great. The sausage was rubbery & pastries offered were not fresh, they seemed a few days old.
