Hard to finf without gps
Pros:

it was clean and very comfortable.

Cons:

The web site said full breakfast and I interpreted that to mean it was included. It was not. It was available but not included in the price. We were disappointed.
Also, it appeared that it was just off the freeway. It was difficult to find and then was not easy to get back to the freeway the next day. No direct route.

Hotel was great. Booking.com, not so much.
Pros:

What breakfast??? Man at the front desk was very helpful.

Cons:

I booked with booking.com. I had a confirmation number but the hotel could not find my confirmation so I didn't not have a room reserved. Took me 30 minutes to confirm that I was not going to be charged as a no show. Lost all confidence in booking.com. At least the hotel still had a room available for me.

Okay for work but I wouldn’t stay here if I was on vacation.
Pros:

The restaurant had good food.

Cons:

They couldn’t provide a receipt at checkout. Don’t go through a third party for booking. I suggest booking your stay through hotel it self.
