Clean and Convenient Stay

modern hotelcomfortable beddingspacious roomlimited options
The hotel is very clean and modern. It is easy to access the freeway from this location. My room was spacious, and bedding was comfortable. The hotel has a luxury feel.
My sparkling water ordered with dinner did not arrive. There were very limited room service dining options. I filled out the breakfast card as instructed and hung it on the door, but breakfast never arrived.
