Good location right off the freeway! And even though it was we never heard traffic. Room was good. Bathroom tub/shower looked a bit old. Beds were nice and firm. Hotel check in was great. Full dining restaurant attached to hotel is a plus for longer stays. Small suggestion for the printed free breakfast claim paper- please add that the numbered options on the back are free :)
