Our room was quiet, very clean, smelled fresh, had fantastic pillows, and was in a very convenient location right off the freeway. You won't find a better deal, esp. when you consider the savings from having breakfast included. The bed was excellent and so was high speed internet, the refrigerator and microwave too.

Thank you for reviewing our hotel. Although you didn't stay at our hotel, we spoke with the manager and the rate that you had seen online was for the day after which was Sunday, when our rates are generally lower due to availability. The day you inquired about a room, we had very limited availability therefore the rate being higher.... More

No fighting traffic or changing lanes at rush hour. The room looked newly redecorated; the bathroom was attractive and very clean. A small continental breakfast... More
