Ma and my husband were in a time crunch and totally forgot to packed a raizo blade, I was surprised we call front desk to asked if by chance they sale some and they offer amenities to you as a guess, they had it for free along with shaving cream that was a plus, not expecting it all!

The room was clean and had great TV options. Device charging was easy and the air conditioner worked amazing. We were on the 4th floor just past the elevator. There are plenty of food options close by. The area is decent and there was plenty of parking.

We always stay here on our way to Las Vegas to break up the ride. It’s always clean, quiet, and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on. Freshly ground coffee and water fountains to fill up the largest of travel cups.

Short but sweet

Pros: large room with tall ceilings, clean, great ceiling fans, easy checkin, friendly staff, convenient location to area amenities, good breakfast selections, Cons: biggest con for me was that it is right next to freeway - traffic noise and boom box noise. Small con-mismatched furniture
