Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located between a highway entrance and exit, making it easy to access. The rooms have old pull-out couches, providing extra seating but showing signs of wear. The housekeeping service is diligent, ensuring a clean environment. The included dining offers cold dishes only, which might not suit all tastes. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel offers decent value for the price paid.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, close to downtown without being too expensive, which was great. The rooms were okay with an old pull-out couch, but not the most comfortable. The service was friendly, and the housekeeping did a good job. However, the exit from the freeway next to the hotel was dangerous, which was a major drawback.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the old pull-out couch was not very comfortable. The service, particularly housekeeping, was excellent. The location, although between a highway entrance and exit, proved to be convenient for accessing different areas. The dining, which included coffee, was enjoyable with good options. The facilities were adequate, but some areas could use updating.
