Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Upon arrival, a manager was yelling at a staff member at the front desk about his poor job performance. Despite me standing there for a few minutes - he did not stop berating the employee and I chose to leave the lobby until he stopped. It made the whole place feel unsafe for me and my daughter. Parking was easy, the pool looked nice though it wasn't swimming weather. Our room was generally clean, but walls and other deep cleaning spots were dirty. In retrospect, I would have paid more for a different place - hotel and motel rates are high in this area, thus our choice, but would not return here.

This is a good, functional, clean hotel. It's obviously older, but has been upgraded. Bummer it's next to the freeway because of noise. Great that it's next to the freeway for easy access. My check in got messed up, but the great staff fixed it and all was well. Thanks
