"Great hotel, right off freeway. Good selection of food and shopping near by. Mexican restaurant next to hotel is a must have if you like Mexican food. 5 stars to that place (even though they gave me the wrong carry out order). Hotel was busy. Check in was still smooth. Room was clean, modern, and nice. I did hear several loud vehicles drive by from the room. Both had obnoxiously exhaust systems. My only complaint was the pool area. It was busy, had to ask for towels, and dirty towels scattered around the pool area. Hot tubs were way too hot. With a water slide, there were plenty of kids having fun. The pool was getting used. I notice brown stuff floating in the water in the hot tub. Turns out it was the paint from the brick around the edge of the hot tub. Hits peeling up and getting tracked into the hot tub. But thatโ€™s my only complaint. Breakfast was your average hot breakfast hotel food. It was getting well used."
