"First time staying at this hotel. It actually was very nice. being close to the freeway wasn't a distraction and the noise level was minimal. Quite a few amenities onsite, so it felt a little more upscale. Only negative was the A/C not cooling our room as we stayed during a heat wave. But everything else was great!"
