The hotel was ok but not what we were expecting. There are better options in the area for about the same money. The staff was very nice.

The staff at the front desk were super. They had lots of information on restaurants and how to get back to the freeway the next day. There was also covered parking for our motorcycles. Much appreciated. The only downside was the breakfast. The food was just okay. I’ve had better at chain hotels.
