the Clever Flapper Fix

room ordered was to sleep 4 people- with a fold out couch- for 2 people- got call wanting to know if I still wanted this room -yes I said-- then my other people cancelled trip, still okay for me - smaller room- no hangers no coffee pot- got hangers but didn't ask for coffee pot as I drink instant so make in my travel cup- Room was set up for two as 2 plates, cups, utensils still good. Best hotel bed I have ever slept in pillows too so it was all fine. 4th time I have stayed with this hotel chain and if I make next tournament I will again. My friends travel more than me so they are members and why I stay as well. I told the desk about the funny fix on the toilet flapper as it stuck open a few times- I knew how to fix it BUT it could be better. I wish I had taken a photo it was a rather clever fix. My deceased plumber hubby and my kids would have loved it. JIB

In a nice location with eating places in walking distance. and the expressway nearby. Room was clean. Only negative for me was the lighting in the room not very bright. Not an elegant luxury hotel but very nice for the price. I would stay there again.

I liked the spacious rooms and the kitchenette. The couch incredibly uncomfortable and not all the channels worked on TV. Could hear people running in hallways. No breakfast available. Very clean. Front desk staff very friendly. Close to freeway and quiet for the busy area.
