Pros:

Breakfast was great, service was great, and hotel was overall well kept.

Cons:

The beds were not comfortable. They were two firm. A handle on their sliding glass door kept falling off. The bathroom created too much steam, my phone couldnt charge for hours after because of water from it. Never had an issue in other hotel bathrooms.

Enjoyable for an overnight stay.
Pros:

Convenient location right off the freeway. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Wish there were a few more breakfast options for Eggs, bacon/sausages, pancakes/waffles. Also offer whole milk too, not just 2%.

Cons:

Didn't get a voucher to visit Benihana's next door. The room curtains were confusing at first because they wouldn't close until I found the black outs. Needs bigger fridge that is more stable with a bigger icebox.

Disappointed
Pros:

That it was right across from Benihana

Cons:

The fact that whoever was staying above us had no consideration! They made so much noise walking hard stomping flipping all night and woke up to it again. We called the front desk and complained no change so we checked out early and that was our first and probably last time coming there! Sad we came to enjoy Memorial Day weekend and we left disappointed 😞 if you know u got kids you should wanna be on the lower level!
