Fun spot for kids/families wanting a pool and decent breakfast
Pros:

The amenities were nice and plenty of parking.

Cons:

Very close to the freeway and main road making it loud. The room temperature was hard to control so it wasn’t ideal comfort in the room itself

Great breakfast, not so great pool
Pros:

We stayed here for one night after a flight. Comfortable beds, easy check in. I love the breakfast here so much - egg white omelets and really good yogurt as well as other options. The big downside was that the pool was cloudy and on the greenish side. Just didn't feel or look clean. Hot tub water was cleaner looking.

DON’T STAY HERE IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP!
Pros:

I cannot understand how this hotel is rate 4+ stars! This place is a joke and no one is mentioning the very obvious reason not to stay here….It is incredibly noisy!!! It sits right off of a busy section of I-5.
When I arrived, i walked down the corridor to my room 328. I opened the door and said to myself, “the cleaning staff must have forgotten to close the window.” It immediately felt like I was sitting in the middle of the giant interstate. I walked over to the window, only to find that the window was actually closed!! It was that loud with the window closed.
I found that the hotel is aware and they provide those really cheap foam earplugs and you can order a noise machine. Neither worked.
I had a horribly fitful night. And basically didn’t sleep at all. It ruined my next day because of how unrested I was.
If sleep is important to you, the price of this hotel doesn’t make this a worthwhile stay.
