The room looked nice. Hotel is close to interstate & it’s really noisy all hours of the day. After I showered water was all over the floor. Clean it up. Called front desk, no answer. Kids took a shower. Water again all over. Told the front desk at check out, hope they took care of it before it leaks into the room below.

Great amenities for the price
The food options at breakfast were great. It was nice to have the lemon water and ice to drink all day with also coffee available all day and popcorn. The place was clean. The beds were comfortable. The only downside was the traffic noise from the freeway. which disturbed our sleep.
