Our room was nice and parking was great with good access from the Freeway. However the website is extremely misleading as it definitely implies that there is a bar at the hotel and that there are food options, whereas this was offsite , extremely noisy and wasn’t at all in keeping with the standard of the hotel.

Good, clean, service can be better
Overall cleanliness was good, atmosphere, and not much noise. One terrible encounter with lady cleaning our room 126 who knew we were there and told us to wait 5 more minutes (no problem) but her treatment of my family saying not give her any more trash and to lock the glass door on us after she was done knowing we had a sleeping child.

The property was very clean. The staff was very helpful and kind. Parking was very easy. There is a restaurant right next door that guests get a discount at. The freeway is very close and the trolley is within walking distance as are other food options and a local craft beer bar.
