Solid front desk service - huge bed - spotless room
Pros:

Spotlessly clean, large room, huge king bed (I'm 6' 1" and could sleep all angles - up/down, sideways, diagonally - without touching the sides!); very well-equipped room, great facilities, all mod cons, fabulous TV channels, plus the staff members on the front desk - especially Terence (I think that was his name) - were excellent.

Hugely satisfied with the room and price. Thank you.

Cons:

The lady serving the breakfast was working extremely hard to satisfy everybody's requests, but she didn't have a lot to work with. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment as it was pretty sparse and very basic.

The hotel is also a stone's throw from the freeway so expect some traffic noise, but not a deal breaker, especially if you have the TV on.

Solo por una noche para seguir manejando.
Pros:

Solo pasamos la noche ahí. Actualmente el hotel está en remodelación, así que hay un mix entre areas remodeladas y areas que se ven viejas. La habitación bastante amplia y en buen estado. Un desayuno muy completo aunque el área de comedor también está en plena remodelación.

Cons:

Me tocó una habitación en el area que aún no se remodela, el aire acondicionado era muy ruidoso y vimos un par de cucarachas y un pequeño nido de arañas. Aún así no diría que la habitación estuvo sucia.

Place needs a renewal
Pros:

Good breakfast, does not have a lot of options, but enough (omelet, bagels, sausage, fruits, yogurt).

Cons:

Due to the old tiles floor, the housekeeper’s car makes a lot of noise (enough to wake me up). The furniture is worn up (drawers don’t close anymore).

Friendly staff. No elevators that I know of. So I’d keep that in mind if you can climb stairs. Overall decent stay!
Pros:

Breakfast was great and staff was friendly. The beds were OK and the room fairly clean.

Cons:

Carpet was lifting up at the edge as soon as you came into the room. Room was decently clean. There weren’t any elevators that I know of. We did look around, but we couldn’t find any.
