I had a great stay slept well room was clean but noticed a very musty smell from the time I walked in the front door. I was on the 3rd and top floor and when I came out of my room I noticed a wet floor sign on a carpeted floor with a small trash can beside it and as I walked past it I noticed that the ceiling was leaking beside a HVAC vent and in that vent was black mold... Not real happy about the response I got from the front desk she said that she doesn't really go up there. And now here it is 6:12am and no breakfast. So that's why I gave it a low rating... If you have respiratory problems DON'T STAY HERE...

Rooms were very clean. But if planning to stay there, ask for a room on the side away from.the freeway. I found mine very noisy.
And if you like to swim, plan on doing it when you first check in. Pool hours are 8am to 8pm. I imagine that limits usage significantly.
Finally, be advised there are not many close dining options.
