Right off the freeway..

Lukewarm reviews for breakfast..
Though the breakfast has received many positive reviews, guests have also expressed concerns about the overall food quality and presentation. Some have also found the area a bit chaotic or crowded on weekends.
negative:
Noisy neighbors..
A few guests found that the walls were a little thin, and they could easily overhear rowdy children and barking dogs in nearby rooms or roaming the hallways. A few others were troubled by freeway noise or loud air conditioning.
negative:
A chilly pool..
A few guests found the pool too chilly for a relaxing swim, or else found the area in need of greater maintenance. Some have commented that the towels in the pool area are due to be replaced, as are some of the linens in the rooms.
