The hotel was nice and clean. The area around it is just blah. It sits next to the freeway. If you just need a good, clean place to stay for the night, this is good. There is a seafood restaurant next door, but that’s about it.

Amazing Surprise

To our delight, our stay was an enjoyable experience. The staff was friendly, polite, and helpful. This hotel was our first or third choice however, we were welcomed and the desk clerk, Eva went out of her way to ensure that we were satisfied with our rooms. Thank you for a great staff

Great place for the price.

The hotel is dated but clean and the staff is super nice. There is coffee in the room and breakfast is included and it’s a nice spread. Parking spots are a little tight but it’s free with your stay. The water pressure is decent as well. I just wish the pillows were softer or more variety in softness.
