The property was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, and the staff were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and attentive. The only downside is that it’s not within walking distance of shops, restaurants, or attractions, so transportation is necessary.

The hotel picked my sister and I up at the Car Rental at the airport and brought us to the hotel. The next morning we took the shuttle back to airport at 5am and it was prompt and fast. Great night sleep. Unfortunately we left before breakfast was open - next time! Thanks!

At first I was a little worried because I could easily hear people outside the room and upstairs, so I was expecting not being able to sleep but the beds were so comfortable that I slept so good. Room is super clean, LOVE THAT! Staff super nice. Breakfast is ok, not amazing but good enough to get you ready to go. Hotel is literally next to the freeway but the windows are great quality because it did not bother us. Love the location, not too far from anywhere we wanted to go.

I want to commend Art at the front desk for his outstanding service. When I requested to extend my stay from one night to two, he accommodated me by upgrading my room to a suite since my original room was already booked for the following night. I truly appreciated his professionalism and willingness to help. However, I am very unhappy with the way the billing was handled. My boss had paid for the first night at the online rate of $437.00, and then we paid for two additional nights at $548.00 each. While we did receive a refund for one night, it was only for the $437.00 rate instead of $548.00. This means my company was charged $548.00 twice when we should have only been charged once at that rate. This is not only incorrect but also unfair—especially given the additional stress we were already experiencing from airline issues. I hope management will review this situation and make it right.
