Despite being in a room facing the freeway this stay was amazing, and we could barely hear the noise outside. Great beds, tvs, WiFi, shower, in room coffee, free breakfast, and great staff.

My daughter goes to school in the area and we meet up every now and again. This was my first stay there and I would definitely stay again. We loved the kitchenette option so we didn't have to go out to eat unless we wanted to.
