The location is very convenient, but just below the elevated freeway. However with the windows closed the noise is not bad at night. The area is not very attractive. We had a glitch with our reservation. Expedia took care of it. Would I stay again- no. I’d pay a bit more to be in a better area.. for just driving thru and needing a good nights stay this will do.

Overall good room. Bed was comfortable. Small breakfast was provided. Front desk took a long time to come to the office. We had to ring the bell twice. The TV in the room didn’t have channels or I couldn’t figure it out. They should provide directions on how to use tv.
