Great location next to Flying Flags RV park. The best part about this hotel is being able to use flying flags amenities like pool, playgrounds, etc. the room was too bright and the beds weren’t very comfortable. They have sound machines in rooms to block out freeway noise, which was nice. The “breakfast” consisted of donuts, bagels and hard boiled eggs so that was disappointing. Coffee in the lobby was good though.

Room is clean and ready. My only concern is about breakfast has to be order by 10 and choices are very limited. Wish they could make it continental with more options for food and drinks. Other than that, love the location and it’s convenient to get back on highways.

My experience was poor due to the disturbance that took during the night. Even though it says the noise stops at 10 that was not the case people were loud and drunk until 1:00. Didn’t enjoyed the stay. Also the carpet was very dirty

The curtain rods need to be smaller so that it will easier to slide the curtains, there are people who are still very loud at the pool area which is right next to my room. I love that there is a bar in the vicinity of this hotel. I can drink and just walk to my hotel room.

The coffee maker didn't work. started it up, the blue light came on, and then it shut down. another nit to pick is the bar area below put out a lot of light and the shades in the room didn't block out the light. Other than that, the place was perfect.
